The Face Behind the Veil - The Extraordinary Lives of Muslim Women in America
For years, the image of the Muslim woman in America has been as mysterious as the face behind the veil. Is she subservient to a male-dominated culture and religion? Does she grocery shop, do her nails, go to the gym? In this moving book, journalist Donna Gehrke-White provides a rare, revealing look into the hearts, minds, and everyday lives of Muslim women in America. Here, in their own words, are the many different voices of doctors, soccer moms, rebels, reformers, former political prisoners, survivors, and activists - women of faith, courage, hope, and change - all Muslims, all Americans.
