Few policy topics arouse as much contention as those at the nexus of women, Islam and western liberalism. The issues involved are amorphous and prone to misunderstanding and entrenched positions. As a result contemporary public debate too often postulates its own set of beliefs about what constitutes liberalism and what Islam represents. To date this has rarely proved to be a good topic for sober assessment. Women and Islam is a new collection of essays which brings together leading thinkers among British Muslim women to consider the convergences and challenges between liberalism and Islam on the topic of women. The contributors discuss a wide range of issues, from the status of women in Islam and Muslim women's involvement in public life, to forced marriage, polygamy and domestic violence. For Muslim women, these are living, not abstract, questions. Too often these issues are discussed by people speaking for Muslim women. Women and Islam attempts to help redress that by allowing Muslim women to speak for themselves about the challenges, as they see them, of living in a liberal society. No one collection can provide straightforward answers in such a complex discussion. But they can contribute to sharpening the questions, focusing them into a form that can stimulate analysis and lead to more informed debate. That is the goal of this collection.

Tracing the centrality of women in the definition of Turkish secularism, this study investigates the 2003 decision to increase the number of women officers employed by the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet). It explores how, as professional religious officers, the female Diyanet preachers epitomize a pious, modern and highly educated woman whose role in society has been raised to prominence. Based on extensive fieldwork in Turkey, and drawing on a rich ethnography of the activities conducted by Diyanet women preachers in Istanbul, Chiara Maritato disentangles the state's attempt to standardize a multifaceted female religious participation. In using the feminization of the Diyanet as a prism through which to understand the significance of a renewed presence of Islam in the Turkish public realm, she casts light on a broader reformulation of religious services for women and families in Turkey, and pinpoints how this pervasive moral support has been able to penetrate and reshape even secular spaces.

How would you feel, as a guest, about sitting in a suburban living room that is for women only? What if you wanted a baby but as a single woman could not have one outside of a marriage? Could you stay home to mourn a husband for four months and ten days? Headstrong Daughters takes us inside the lives of Muslim women in Australia today. They are working professionals, mothers, and students. At home they are finding ways to stay true to their faith as well as to themselves, navigating the expectations of their families and the traditions they brought with them to their new country. But things are not always what they seem. These candid, moving and sometimes surprising stories reveal a side to Australian life that is little known and often misunderstood. Inspiring, warm and determined, these women are the new face of Islam in Australia.
