Madawi Al-Rasheed's new book goes beyond these conventional tropes to probe the historical, political and religious forces that have, across the years, delayed and thwarted their emancipation. The book demonstrates how, under the patronage of the state and its religious nationalism, women have become hostage to contradictory political projects that on the one hand demand female piety, and on the other hand encourage modernity. Drawing on state documents, media sources and interviews with women from across Saudi society, the book examines the intersection between gender, religion and politics to explain these contradictions and to show that, despite these restraints, vibrant debates on the question of women are opening up as the struggle for recognition and equality finally gets under way. 410 0$aCambridge Middle East studies ;$v43. 606 $aWomen$zSaudi Arabia$xSocial conditions 606 $aMuslim women$zSaudi Arabia$xSocial conditions 606 $aFeminism$zSaudi Arabia 606 $aFeminism$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aWomen and religion$zSaudi Arabia 606 $aSex role$zSaudi Arabia 606 $aWomen's rights$zSaudi Arabia 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMuslim women$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aFeminism 615 0$aFeminism$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aWomen and religion 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aWomen's rights 676 $a305.4209538 700 $aAl-Rasheed$b Madawi$0674715 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786157403321 996 $aA most masculine state$93847533 997 $aUNINA
