Muslim Women in Law and Society [PDF ebook] 
Annotated translation of al-Tahir al-Haddad s Imra tuna fi l-sharia wa l-mujtama, with an introduction.

An extremely timely translation of a seminal text on the role of women in Muslim society by the early twentieth century thinker al Taher al-Haddad. Considered as one of the first feminist works in Arab literature, this book will be of considerable interest to scholars of an early ‘feminist’ tract coming from a Muslim in Arab society.
