Through an examination of legal texts, medical treatises, and works of religious preaching, Sara Verskin illuminates how attitudes toward mixed-gender interactions; legal theories pertaining to marriage, divorce, and inheritance; and scientific theories of reproduction contoured the intellectual and social landscape infertile women had to navigate. In so doing, she highlights underappreciated vulnerabilities and opportunities for women?s autonomy within the system of Islamic family law, and explores the diverse marketplace of medical ideas in the medieval world and the perceived connection between women?s health practices and religious heterodoxy. Featuring copious translations of primary sources and minimal theoretical jargon, Barren Women provides a multidimensional perspective on the experience of infertility, while also enhancing our understanding of institutions and modes of thought which played significant roles in shaping women?s lives more broadly. 410 0$aIslam - Thought, Culture, and Society 606 $aFamilienrecht 606 $aFrauen 606 $aIslam 606 $aIslamic family law 606 $aUnfruchtbarkeit 606 $aWomen in Islam 606 $ahistory of medicine 606 $ainfertility 607 $aArab countries$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $aIslamic family law. 610 $aWomen in Islam. 610 $ahistory of medicine. 610 $ainfertility. 615 4$aFamilienrecht. 615 4$aFrauen. 615 4$aIslam. 615 4$aIslamic family law. 615 4$aUnfruchtbarkeit. 615 4$aWomen in Islam. 615 4$ahistory of medicine. 615 4$ainfertility. 676 $a297.265 700 $aVerskin$b Sara$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0860579 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404117703321 996 $aBarren Women$91920143 997 $aUNINA
