The Othered Woman: How White Feminism Harms Muslim Women (Paperback)
by Shahed Ezaydi
Description
This book lays out the deep entanglement between white feminism and Islamophobia.
.
Growing up, journalist Shahed Ezaydi was often asked how she could call herself a feminist and still practice her faith. It's a question that reveals a deeper issue that Muslim women often face: being ignored in feminist spaces entirely, or cast as passive victims in need of being saved. But Muslim women don't need rescuing.
.
The Othered Woman is the book that Ezaydi wishes her younger self had turned to. It challenges the myths of how Muslim women are oppressed and by whom, and shows that these myths translate into very real harm, showcasing the voices of feminists who are fighting for liberation on their own terms.
