Does Islam as a religion oppress women? Is Islam against democracy? In this classic study, internationally renowned sociologist Fatema Mernissi argues that women's oppression is not due to Islam because this religion celebrates women's power. Women's oppression, she maintains, is due to political manipulation of religion by power-seeking, archaic Muslim male elites.

Does Islam as a religion oppress women? Is Islam against democracy? In this classic study, internationally renowned sociologist Fatema Mernissi argues that women's oppression is not due to Islam because this religion celebrates women's power. Women's oppression, she maintains, is due to political manipulation of religion by power-seeking, archaic Muslim male elites. Mernissi explains that early Muslim scholars portrayed women as aggressive hunters who forced men, reduced to weak hunted victims, to control women by imposing institutions such as veiling, which confined women to the private space. In her new introduction, she argues that women's aggressive invasion of the 500-plus Arab satellite channels in the twenty-first century, including as commanding show anchors, film and video stars, supports her theory that Islam as a religion celebrates female power.
Fatema Mernissi is a leading advocate for women's rights in the Muslim world. She has served as a visiting professor at Harvard University and the University of California, Berkeley. Her works have been translated into thirty languages and include Islam and Democracy: Fear of the Modern World (Basic Books) and The Veil and the Male Elite: A Feminist Interpretation of Women's Rights in Islam (Perseus Books). In 2003, she was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature along with Susan Sontag.
