Beyond the Veil: Male-Female Dynamics in Modern Muslim Society
There were some insightful and interesting points made in this book, but reading this book after Amina Wadud's Quran and Woman, and Asma Barlas' Believing Women, it wasn't as riveting, enlightening or inspiring. I can see why though, in its time it would have been groundbreaking, and without doubt, Mernissi can be credited for much of the application of liberation/feminist theory on readings of the Quran and Islam since.
The book is an interesting read but as can be expected, it is somewhat outdated and there are, in my opinion, better books on the topic with more relevant information and updated examples than this one.
