From the back cover of this book: "Defying our stereotypes about the Muslim world, Brooks' acute analysis of the world's fastest growing religion deftly illustrates how Islam's holiest texts have been misused to justify repression of women, and how male pride and power have warped the original message of a once liberating faith."

Not a typical feminist diatribe -- a good read and insight into the Muslim world.
