Nadia Maria el-Cheikh. Women, Islam and Abbasid Identity. Cambridge M.A: Harvard University Press, 2015.

Abstract

This book, explores the historical adventure of the ideal woman identity in the early Islamic thought. However, it gives information about the nature of the ideal life (Islamic life) in line with the examples of women in question. In this way, it is emphasized how the ideal life differs from the period of Jāhiliyya. Here, while the period of Jāhiliyya is evaluated as disorder, lawlessness and aberration, the Islamic life is shown as order and justice image. In this respect, Islam has been conceptualized as an alternative to the corrupt life of the Jāhiliyya as well as being the reference to the religion.
