vaniavela's review against another edition
informative
reflective
medium-paced
5.0
It's Not About the Burqua shows the diversity of Muslim women.
Most of the stories were engaging and while some were not as compelling, they were still interesting.
I don't usually review non-fiction books, but this was an eye-opening read on complex issues such as feminism, love, marriage and sexuality.
I think this book should be widely read. That said, I am not a muslamen reviewer, so I encourage you all to read own-voices reviews, as they know more than I do.
TW: islamophobia, racism, colorism, classism, misogyny, misogynior, suicidal thoughts, anxiety/panic attacks, mentions of rape, homophobia, abuse, gaslighting.
