This book explores the contentious topic of women's rights in Muslim-majority countries with a specific focus on Iran and the Iranian women's movement from 1906 to the present.¿ The work contextualises the authorial self through the use of personal narrative and interviews. A new critique of Islamic law is produced through an in-depth study of the Iranian constitution, civil and criminal codes. ¿The work presents a novel reconceptualization of the term `Islamic feminism' by revisiting the arguments of various scholars and through analysis of interviews with Iranian women's rights activists. It is contended that the feminist movements can play a critical role in Islamic law reform and consequently the eventual implementation of international human rights law in Muslim-majority countries.
