The book is as a dictionary a comprehensive reference source of woman throughout Islamic history, from the first century After Hijra (AH) to roughly the middle of the thirteenth century AH.A perusal of the entries shows that Muslim women have been successful as, for example scholars and business women as well as fulfilling their roles as wives and mothers for the past fourteen centuries. In an age when limiting perspective have come to be the norm, this is a most timely work.
