Book excerpt: This book with its sad, reiterated story of wrong and oppression is an indictment and an appeal. It is an indictment of the system which produces results so pitiful. It is an appeal to Christian womanhood to right these wrongs and enlighten this darkness by sacrifice and service. At the recent Mohammedan Educational Conference in Bombay the president of the gathering, the Agha Khan, himself a leading Moslem, spoke very trenchantly of the chief barriers to progress in the Moslem world. The first and greatest of these barriers in his opinion was "the seclusion of women which results in keeping half the community in ignorance and degradation and this hinders the progress of the whole." Surely the ignorance and degradation of one-half of a community which has a world population of 233 millions is a question that concerns all who love humanity. The origin of the veil of Islam was, as is well known, one of the marriage affairs of Mohammed himself, with its appropriate revelation from Allah. In the twenty-fourth Surah of the Koran women are forbidden to appear unveiled before any member of the other sex, with the exception of near relatives. And so by one verse the bright, refining, elevating influence of women was forever withdrawn from Moslem society. The evils of the zenana, the seraglio, the harem, or by whatever name it is called, are writ large over all the social life of the Moslem world. Keene says it "lies at the root of all the most important features that differentiate progress from stagnation." In Arabia before the advent of Islam it was customary to bury female infants alive. Mohammed improved on the barbaric method and discovered a way by which all females could be buried alive and yet live on—namely, the veil. How they live on, this book tells! Its chapters are not cunningly devised fables nor stories told for the story's sake. Men and women who have given of their strength and service, their love and their life to ameliorate the lives of Moslem women and carry the torch of Truth into these lands of darkness write simply the truth in a straightforward way. All the chapters were written by missionaries in the various lands represented. And with three exceptions the writers were women. The chapter on Turkestan is by a converted Moslem; and the two chapters on the Yemen and the Central Soudan are by medical missionaries. The book has as many authors as there are chapters. For obvious reasons their names are not published, but their testimony is unimpeachable and unanimous. We read what their eyes have seen, what their hands have handled, and what has stirred their hearts. It has stirred the hearts of educated Moslems too, in Egypt as well as in India. A new book on this very subject was recently published at Cairo by Kasim Ameen, a learned Moslem jurist. Although he denies that Islam is the cause, yet speaking of the present relation of the Mohammedan woman to man the author says: "Man is the absolute master and woman the slave. She is the object of his sensual pleasures, a toy, as it were, with which he plays, whenever and however he pleases. Knowledge is his, ignorance is hers. The firmament and the light are his, darkness and the dungeon are hers. His is to command, hers is to blindly obey. His is everything that is, and she is an insignificant part of that everything.

Book excerpt: "This is indeed a 'cry of need' and one of the saddest cries that ever rang out over the world. The condition of woman under Mohammedanism is its deepest condemnation. Such chapter titles as 'Behind the Opening Door in Tunis,' 'Light in Darkest Morocco,' 'Mohammedan Women in Central Soudan,' and 'Behind the Lattice in Turkey,' are suggestive of the conditions and scenes described in this book. It is a vivid portrayal and should move us to greater earnestness and speed in sending the gospel to lands of Mohammedan darkness." -Presbyterian Banner "One verse in the Koran, in which women are forbidden to appear unveiled before any man except certain relatives, is responsible for a condition which 'lies at the root of all the most important features that differentiate progress from stagnation.' In this book...is collected a mass of testimony and undoubted facts that merely lift the edge of the sad truth as to the lives of women in Mohammedan communities....One point made in this book is not perfectly recognized even by those of us who read about the Moslems. The universality and ease of divorce, the absolute freedom of the husband, and the utter helplessness of the wife, are revelations to many. A mere sentence, repeated three times, is irrevocable, and the wife is cast out to a life of sorrow, shame, and poverty very often." -The Outlook "The sorrow and pathos of the life for Moslem womanhood are so vividly presented that it would be scarcely a true statement to say that one enjoys reading the book. One is made rather to share with the writers in their pity for 'our Moslem sisters....' It is safe to say that the picture is a true one. There is no exaggeration. Whether in Egypt or elsewhere, we find the Moslem woman's life blighted by ignorance, degraded by superstition, tortured by jealousy, and wronged by the awful divorce system which characterize Mohammedan life. The book is one greatly needed to arouse the Christian world of today, for I know of no other book which even attempts to present the picture which is so successfully presented in 'Our Moslem Sisters.'" -Charles R. Watson, Intercollegian "The great struggle of the future, they say, will be between Christ and Muhammad....For those Christians who think that Muhammadanism may serve as, at least, a half-way house towards Christianity, we recommend the reading of 'Our Moslem Sisters.' There is nothing revolting. There is nothing sensational in the book. It is a description of the daily life of Muhammadan women....It was an infidel who declared that Christianity must be judged by its treatment of women. Let the challenge be accepted; let Christianity and Muhammadanism both be judged by their treatment of women." -The Expository Times CONTENTS I. Hagar and Her Sisters II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday Women’s and Gender Studies is a text-reader that offers instructors a new way to approach an introductory course on women’s and gender studies. This book highlights major concepts that organize the diverse work in this field: Knowledges, Identities, Equalities, Bodies, Places, and Representations. Its focus on "the everyday" speaks to the importance this book places on students understanding the taken-for granted circumstances of their daily lives. Precisely because it is not the same for everyone, the everyday becomes the ideal location for cultivating students’ intellectual capacities as well as their political investigations and interventions. In addition to exploring each concept in detail, each chapter includes up to five short recently published readings that illuminate an aspect of that concept. Everyday Women’s and Gender Studies explores the idea that "People are different, and the world isn’t fair," and engages students in the inevitably complicated follow-up question, "Now that we know, how shall we live?"
