Yet during medieval and Renaissance times, European writers portrayed Muslim women in exactly the opposite way, as forceful queens of wanton and intimidating sexuality. In this illuminating study, Mohja Kahf traces the process through which the "termagant" became an "odalisque" in Western representations of Muslim women. Drawing examples from medieval chanson de geste and romance, Renaissance drama, Enlightenment prose, and Romantic poetry, she links the changing images of Muslim women to changes in European relations with the Islamic world, as well as to changing gender dynamics within Western societies. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aMuslim women 606 $aWomen in literature 615 0$aMuslim women. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a305.48/6971 700 $aKahf$b Mohja$f1967-$0893724 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783294003321 996 $aWestern representations of the Muslim woman$92069577 997 $aUNINA
