Qur'an And Woman by Amina Wadud
Rereading the Sacred Text from a Woman's Perspective
This work offers a feminist re-reading of the Qur'an, arguing that many commonly accepted gendered interpretations stem from patriarchal readings, later legal traditions, and linguistic misunderstandings rather than the text itself; through close attention to language, context, and the Qur'an’s overarching ethical principles, the author shows how the scripture supports spiritual and moral equality between men and women and calls for reinterpretations of family law, leadership, and social roles that reflect that egalitarian vision.
