Double Bind and Double Responsibility: Speech and Silence among Australian Muslim Women Acknowledgement; About the Authors; Select Bibliography; Index; CopyrightMuslim women in Australia are at the forefront of a culture war, and not necessarily by choice. As visible representatives of Islam, veiled women face discrimination and abuse, and carry the stigma of a culture frequently deemed unacceptable and inferior. Despite these adverse conditions, Muslim women have demonstrated a remarkable resilience by maintaining their presence in the public domain and by continuing to make a positive contribution to Australia.
