This book is truly unforgettable..invaluable to our understanding of their world, and ours...Jan Goodwin takes us behind the veil and into the hearts and minds of Islamic women. Jan Goodwin traveled through ten countries of the Islamic heartland and intereviewed hundreds of Muslim women, from professionals to peasants, from royalty to rebels. The result is an unforgettable, blistering journey into a world where women are confined, isolated, even killed for the sake of a 'code of honor' created and sealously enforced by men.
