		<description><![CDATA[I bought this book after reading a review in the New York Times. The review largely described Al-Muhaddithat as a women-focused yet Islamically-indigenous text that could lead to the rediscovery of women’s importance in Islam.   The book is written by Mohammad Akram Nadwi, a Muslim scholar who puts emphasis on what he sees as a [...]]]></description>
