Here are ten North American Muslim women that Samina Ali, curator of of the International Museum of Muslima, believes is noteworthy in the arts, or revolutionary in showing what Muslim women can accomplish, or a pioneer fighting for women’s rights.  Ilyasah Shabazz, the daughter of Malcolm X, is pictured above. She is an activist, a motivational speaker and the producer of the WAKE UP tour, a youth empowerment program.
