Following the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the re-introduction of Sharica law, women's rights in Iran suffered a setback. Through interviews with clerics in the Iranian religious center of Qom, this book seeks to understand the notions of gender that inform Islamic jurisprudence and to explore how clerics perpetuate and modify these notions.

Presents exciting new feminist research that challenges gender discrimination and male authority in Islamic legal tradition
