Book review: Headscarves and Hymens Why the Middle East needs a Sexual Revolution” by Mona Eltahawy
I have spent a lot of time planning and preparing this podcast. It’s not something I have taken lightly. For the following reasons.Firstly, Why did I want to read this book? The title is hardly Islamic. What could I possibly learn from a book whose title has such promiscuous connotations?The reason why I read this book was for the purpose of research for a new book that I am writing with fellow Muslim writers on the topic of the Islamic alternative to feminism.Since I became interested in the topic of whether Islam is compatible with feminism, I have genuinely made an effort to understand feminist ideas by reading books by non-muslim and Muslim feminists. I don’t want to have a shallow understanding.Please send feedback and podcast suggestions to my telegram channelLaunchgood donation page for the new book An Islamic Alternative to Feminism--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/farhatamin/message Hosted on Acast.
