re: #66 Sharmuta

Dr. Chesler’s book, “The Death of Feminism,’ begins with the story of her own marriage to an Afghani, and her experience in Kabul, living with his family. She had every right stripped from her, and found no allies among the other women in his family. Amina and Sarah Said are examples: their own mother apparently offered them up for their father to kill.
Dr. Chesler is almost alone, unfortunately, among the “Old Feminists” of the 60s, to see that the struggle of women’s rights is today to convince women in Islam that freedom is a good thing, not a ticket to cultural oblivion. Islamic nations have over half of their intelligence and creativity literally under wraps.
