وصف الكتاب | When the Abbasids overthrew the Umayyads in 750 CE and ushered in Islam’s Golden Age, ideas about gender and sexuality were central to the process by which the caliphate achieved self-definition and articulated its systems of power and thought. Nadia Maria El Cheikh’s study reveals the importance of women to the writing of early Islamic history. |

This is a work of high scholarly caliber that will make a significant contribution to the study of early Islam.--Nancy Khalek, Brown University |
