İslam Tarihinde İz Bırakan 21 Kadın

The book 21 Women Who Left Their Mark in Islamic History begins in seventeenth century Mecca and Medina and extends to eleventh century Yemen and Khorasan. Then he examines sixteenth-century Spain, Istanbul and India. From there, he takes us around the world, traveling through nineteenth-century Iran, across the African prairies, to twentieth-century Russia, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq, before arriving at today's Europe and America.

Hossein Kamaly describes the lives and groundbreaking achievements of these extraordinary women in Islamic history, starting from Khadijah, wife of the Prophet Muhammad, and the women who witnessed the spread of Islam, to the award-winning architect Zaha Hadid in the twenty-first century.

Never before has the history of Islam been presented this way: through the lives of twenty-one important women!

Kamaly vividly captures with elegance and wisdom key points in the long and varied history of the Islamic world; From early believers to mystical poets, from medieval queens to ruling wives, from Sufi spies to nationalist singers, from Iraqi architects to Iranian mathematicians, it has brought to life some of the extraordinary women who made history and transformed our world.

In this very readable and interesting book, Hossein Kamaly invites us to rethink the history of Islam by telling the lives and achievements of twenty-one extraordinary women from the birth of the religion to the present day. This is a much-needed corrective to traditionally male-centered Muslim history.
