'Traces how both the state and white feminist practices consistently vilify and dismiss Muslim women' Koa Beck, the author of White Feminism
'Lays out the deep entanglement between white feminism and Islamophobia' Nafisa Bakkar, co-founder and CEO of Amaliah
'A vital contribution to the feminist conversation - one that tears through the myth of universal sisterhood' Alya Mooro, author of The Greater Freedom
Growing up, journalist Shahed Ezaydi was often asked how she could call herself a feminist and still practise her faith. It's a question that reveals a deeper issue that Muslim women often face: being ignored in feminist spaces entirely, or cast as passive victims in need of being saved. But Muslim women don't need rescuing.
The Othered Woman is the book Ezaydi wishes her younger self could have turned to. It challenges the myths of how Muslim women are oppressed and who by, and shows that these myths translate into very real harm, showcasing the voices of feminists who are fighting for liberation on their own terms.
