The treatment and role of women is one of the most discussed and controversial aspects of Islam. In this volume, three respected scholars of Islam survey the situation of women in Islam, focusing on how Muslim views about and experiences of gender are changing in the Western diaspora.

Muslims are the second largest religious group in much of Europe and northern America. The essays in this collection look both at the impact of the growing Muslim population on Western societies, and how Muslims are adpating to life in the west.
