This collection of essays is incredibly powerful and does such a wonderful job of showing the incredible diversity of Muslim women, their experiences, their interpretation of the world, and more. This collection does so much to demonstrate the danger of having a single narrative to speak for a whole group of individuals. I think any reader would get something out of this book.
I will admit it took me a few essays to really get into it but once I did I was hooked.

A diverse collection of essays with a focus on how Muslim women are seen and relate to the western world. The premise of the collection is about visibility but as a double edge sword. The head scarfs such as a Burqa are at once an aspect of personal faith and practice and also a symbol to outsiders and so a potential point of conflict.

This is a great collection of essays, all by Muslim women from a myriad of backgrounds. I will never know what it is like to experience life as a Muslim, or a woman of color, but this collection helped to strengthen my understanding of what Muslim women experience.
