The authors have unearthed a wealth of references to women, thus re-inscribing their role in the history of one of the most fascinating Islamic dynasties, the only one to be named after a woman. At last some light is thrown on the erstwhile silent and shadowy figures of women under the Fatimids which gives them a presence in the history of women in medieval and pre-modern dynasties. Basing their research on a variety of sources from historical works to chronicles, official correspondence, documentary sources and archaeological findings, the authors have provided a richly informative analysis of the status and influence of women in this period. Their contribution is explored first within the context of Isma?ili and Fatimid genealogical history, and then within the courts in their roles as mothers, courtesans, wives and daughters, and as workers and servants. Throughout the book comparison is drawn with the status and roles of women in earlier, contemporary and subsequent Islamic as well as non-Islamic courts. 517 3 $aWomen & the Fatimids in the World of Islam 606 $aFatimites$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMuslim women$xHistory 606 $aMuslim women$xSocial conditions 606 $aMuslim women$xSocial life and customs 607 $aAfrica, North$xSocial conditions 607 $aAfrica, North$xSocial life and customs 607 $aEgypt$xSocial conditions 607 $aEgypt$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFatimites$xHistory 615 0$aMuslim women$xHistory. 615 0$aMuslim women$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMuslim women$xSocial life and customs. 676 $a305.48697 700 $aCortese$b Delia$0658476 702 $aCalderini$b Simonetta 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457956303321 996 $aWomen and the Fatimids in the world of Islam$92451954 997 $aUNINA
