Recenzii

This is a delightful read. The women from a great range of backgrounds tell us their stories in words that are moving, interesting, direct and honest. They also explain in simple and direct terms what their Muslim faith means to them. With so much prejudice against Islam and claims that it abuses women, it is important to hear the views of Muslim women in the UK. Clare Short, MP

What comes over most clearly from these vivid, conversational articles written by Muslim women in Bradford about their lives is their ordinariness. These women have varied jobs, families, hopes and expectations, and their faith does not cut them off from the real world. On the contrary, any world should be proud to have such thoughtful, humorous and committed people in it. This book will encourage its readers to encounter genuine relationships with real women in their real lives. Dr Jane Williams, Lambeth Palace

A must-read for all those who are convinced women who wear headscarves can't possibly consider themselves architects of change. Asiana magazine

A most interesting heart-to-heart chat with women in Bradford (UK) from a great range of backgrounds telling their stories in words that are moving, interesting, direct and honest. The collection offers an insight into how a largely less-educated community built its life in Britain while overcoming discrimination and socio-economic hurdles. Islamic Horizons, USA
