This book works to overcome stereotypes and misconceptions about Islam by telling the stories of thirteen Muslim women noted throughout history, including Shirin Ebadi, the first Muslim female Nobel Prize winner. RESPONSE: Beautiful artwork and layouts, fascinating stories of these women's struggles and triumphs. Book is a little text-heavy, so probably more suited to an older audience. THEMES/CONCEPTS: Islam, women's roles, feminism, religious tolerance
