Synopsis: This volume takes a global perspective on intersectionality embodied by Muslim women. It addresses questions such as balancing multiple identities, lived experiences and complex realities, and the role of faith in social roles. The chapters debunk the idea of Islam or gender being monoliths. They layer faith over gender across the globe and consider migration as an important factor, thereby exploring intersectional identities that are understudied and under-evaluated. The volume overall brings to life Islamic women's lives in all their richness and differences, with discussions on social roles, positions, initiatives, and occupations across regions. It provides recommendations and suggestions for readers to understand the complex realities of Muslim women as well as serves as a guide for practitioners and policy-makers.
