Women in the Middle East by Nikki R Keddie
Written by a pioneer in the field of Middle Eastern women's history, this book presents a concise and comprehensive history of the lives of the region's women since the rise of Islam. It shows why hostile or apologetic responses are completely inadequate to the diversity and richness of the lives of Middle Eastern women.
"This remarkable book enriches the field of Middle Eastern studies.. To read these interviews from almost two decades ago is to be struck by how much the world and Middle Eastern studies have changed since. For the new prominence of scholarship about women, no little credit is due Nikki Keddie."--Haleh Esfandiari, Wilson Quarterly "All readers will enjoy the superb photographs, most of which were taken by the author during the 1970s...Graduate students will benefit from reading Keddie's nuanced understanding of the field's development from her perspective in 1978 and nearly a quarter of a century later."--M.L. Russell, Choice "This collection of papers is a useful reminder both of the evolving scholarship dealing with women in the Middle East, and of the significant contributions that Keddie has made to that scholarship. It is an important addition to the library of anyone interested in this subject."--John O. Voll, Journal of Social History
