Focusing on the UK, but including studies from Sweden and the United States, Jawad (Middle Eastern and Islamic studies, U. of Birmingham, UK) and Benn (education, U. of Birmingham, UK) present eight chapters that examine the life experiences of Muslim women living in the West. Their experiences with prejudice, gender rights, and careers are discussed. Two chapters focus exclusively on the experiences of Moslem women teachers.
