An internationally acclaimed scholar, who has dedicated more than fifty years of her life to understanding the Islamic world. Annemarie Schimmel examines a much-misunderstood feature of Islam- the role of women. Schimmel is critical of those - especially Western feminists - who take Islam to task without taking the time to comprehend the cultures, language, and traditions of the many societies in which Islam is the majority religion. Shattering stereotypes, Schimmel reconstructs an important but little-known chapter of Islamic Spirituality. With copious examples, she shows the clear equality of women and men in the conception of the prophet Muhammad, the Quran, the feminine language of the mystical tradition, and in the role of holy mothers and unmarried women as manifestations of God. The book is studded with luminous texts from Arabic, Turkish, Persian and particularly Indo-Muslim cultures, which reveal how physical love can give expression to the highest forms of mysticism.… (mer)

> L’ISLAM AU FÉMININ La femme dans la spiritualité musulmane, de Annemarie Schimmel (Albin Michel, 2000). — Islamologue internationalement reconnue, Annemarie Schimmel nous présente ici l’autre visage de la civilisation musulmane en se faisant la biographe de grandes figures féminines. Qu’elle porte un regard nouveau sur le Coran, les traités philosophiques et poétiques, ou qu’elle ressuscite les traditions soufies, elle montre comment la femme peut être pleinement la partenaire de l’homme et de Dieu. (Spiritualités Vivantes)

This scholarly but extremely readable book documents the historical and textual role of the feminine in Islamic spirituality. Schimmel does a great job of handling Quranic texts as well as folk poetry and literature. She is careful to say whether local culture conforms to Quranic mandates on women & women's behavior or whether these are societal norms with no scriptural basis.

The book primarily focuses on Turkish and Indo-Pak spiritual traditions. The last three chapters are dedicated to 3 Indo-Pak folk tales where the female heroine is a metaphor for the human soul and longing for God/the Beloved.

If you MUST have a discussion of gender & Islam, why not start here for a change? Of course, it would be far more interesting to start with Kinsey, but I doubt most Mulims could handle Kinsey, so at least start with something in the PAST because Muslims must so have something in their past for it to be real. Besides, a lot of those Sufis had some VERY interesting ideas about gender... (
