Question: Any Interesting Non-Fiction about Muslim Women!?

I am really curious to find a non-fiction book that details life for the average Muslim woman!. I'm just very curious about that world!. And I want to read about it from a woman's perspective, not a man's!.

I am VERY much aware that not all Muslim women are the same, nor do their lives all look the same!. But I'd like to start somewhere!.!.!.

Thanks for any help and advice!

The most awesome book is "Infidel"!. It is an autobiography written by a muslim woman!. Her name is Ayaan Hirsi Ali!.
I suggest you get her book on audio CDs if you can!. She reads it herself and it is fascinating!. It explains the Muslim life in a very truthful account!. She is an amazing woman and it is inspirational!. I hope you read it!. She is now an advocate to try to help Muslims out of oppression!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sweetness in the Belly is a book about muslim women, however it is not based on anyone in paticular!. The story is largely made up, but the ideas and traditions are not!. I would suggest giving it a try!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
