This year promises to be an historical year for Muslim women in America. A collection of articles on Muslim women’s issues, written¹ from both theoretical and practical points of view, will appear. The collection is unique, because the women who contributed to it represent a microcosm of the Muslim community in America. No such book has ever been written before. It is the culmination of decades of effort at producing significant Muslim women’s writings rooted in the Qur’an and uniquely informed by the American experience.
