Abstract

I read Sisters in the Mirror from cover to cover and highly recommend it to readers. This foundational text marks a significant contribution to feminist debates and Muslim women's writing and is an incredible resource for students and researchers working in the field of global/transnational feminism and South Asian Muslim women. It provides a compact history of contemporary women's rights movements in the West and beyond. A look at the acknowledgements and works cited sections of the book confirms the wide range of people and sources that Shehabuddin consulted to produce it. Its engaging nature gripped me from start to finish so much that I put aside other reading activities while perusing it. Given its content and style, it is not an exaggeration to say that Sisters in the Mirror is one of the most informative and insightful books I have read on gender issues and feminist politics from a global perspective.
