The Veil and the Male Elite by Fatema Mernissi

The Veil and the Male Elite by Fatema Mernissi

Mernissi's method is to go back to the earliest sources rather than argue against the tradition from outside — and to ask who was transmitting which narration, and what they had at stake.

She examines the historical context of the verses on veiling, the Prophet's own household and his wives' public roles, and the political circumstances in which certain narrations restricting women gained authority after his death.

A landmark of Islamic feminist scholarship, argued from within the tradition and widely debated.
