About this book

Politics, Gender, and the Islamic Past by Spellberg, D. A.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780231079990.

In this extraordinary study, D. A. Spellberg examines the life of Aisha bint Abi Bakr, Muhammads most beloved and controversial wife, and a central figure in Islamic cultural history. Instead of employing the traditional chronological technique of the biographer, however, Spellberg uses Aisha as a lens through which to examine the place of women in Islamic societies.
