Summary: "The last two decades have witnessed a proliferation of scholarship focused on women and gender in the Qur'an. Yet, much of the scholarship evades a substantive engagement with tafsir as a scholarly genre. This lack of engagement with tafsir in the field of women in the Qur'an partially stems from evaluations of the exegetical tradition as patriarchal and incapable of offering egalitarian interpretations. I argue that this evaluation requires a critical reassessment. Rather than discard the exegetical tradition as meaningless to Muslim's contemporary efforts to recover the Qur'an's ethics, this book brings into conversation the distinct fields of tafsir studies and women's studies"-- Provided by publisher.
