Beyond The Exotic: Women's History In Islamic Societies

I don't agree with everything she said, particularly cause there was this trend of saying "men are victims of the system too" which eh understandable but in my opinion not comparable, but THIS WAS REALLY GOOD?!?!

It's a very accessible text and DÃ¶nmez makes her anaylsis comprehensible even for outsiders of the culture by giving enough context that is not overly complicated like other texts of this genre tend to be.

Also my to watchlist has grown immensly and I have no clue how I will find these 1950s-2000 ME movies anywhere but I will try my best lmao
