Islam, Democracy and the Status of Women: The Case of Kuwait - Middle East Studies: History, Politics & Law
Rizzo, Helen M. (The American University in Cairo, Egypt)
This book argues that some women in Kuwait are using Islam in their discourse to justify women's right to equality and public participation, thus countering arguments that see Islam, democracy, and women's rights as inherently and culturally incompatible.
