• W2765229841 abstract "Paradise Beneath Her Feet: How Women are Transforming the Middle East by Isobel Coleman. New York: Random House, 2010. 275 pp. ISBN 978-1-4000-6695-7. When the director of the Council on Foreign Relations first approached Isobel Coleman about developing a program on women and foreign policy, her first instinct was to refuse. Thinking that women’s issues were passe, the idea of feminism brought to Coleman’s mind “cranky, privileged women trying to get into all-male golf clubs” (p. xvii). She soon came to realize, however, that “women’s struggle for justice in much of the world is about … the most pressing foreign policy concerns: alleviating poverty, promoting economic development, improving global health, building civil society, strengthening weak and failing states, assisting democratization, [and] tempering extremism” (p. xvii). In almost ten years as the director of the Council on Foreign Relation’s Women and Foreign Policy program, Coleman traveled extensively throughout the Middle East; interviewed experts, government officials, and local leaders; and researched numerous non-governmental organizations and local development projects. Based on this research, in Paradise Beneath Her Feet: How Women are Transforming the Middle East, Coleman weaves together the stories of Islamic feminists who are fighting a “gender jihad” throughout the Muslim world, using the tenets of Islam to promote justice and equality. As Coleman describes, the manifestations of Islamic feminism are as wide and diverse as the countries and cultures in which they take place. There is a broad spectrum of Islamic feminists, from secular feminists who see Islam only as a tool to promote women’s rights within a conservative religious environment to religious women who find their strength and purpose in understanding the fundamental gender equality in Islam, and from those who advocate a full separation of mosque and state to those who see Islam and Sharia law as the only path towards equality and justice. In order to illustrate these many manifestations of Islamic feminism, Coleman focuses on women and men who are fighting for gender equality in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. While Coleman does describe terrible instances of injustice, oppression, and violence towards women, she focuses mainly on the powerful and hopeful stories of Islamic feminists who are making a real difference for women in their countries. For example, Coleman tells the story of Dr. Riffat Hassan, a woman born and raised in Pakistan who went on to earn a PhD in religious studies in the United Kingdom before becoming a professor in the United States. While teaching at Oklahoma State University, Hassan was appointed the faculty advisor for the Muslim Student Association. When the mostly Arab, male students resisted having a woman advisor, Hassan was inspired to study the Quran and hadith (the narrations of Mohammed’s life" @default.
