Tracing Sunni legal positions on women in mosques from the second century of the Islamic calendar to the modern period, Katz connects shifts in scholarly terminology and argumentation to changing constructions of gender. Over time, assumptions about women's changing behavior through the lifecycle gave way to a global preoccupation with sexual temptation, which then became the central rationale for limits on women's mosque access. At the same time, travel narratives, biographical dictionaries, and religious polemics suggest that women's usage of mosque space often diverged in both timing and content from the ritual models constructed by scholars. Katz demonstrates both the concrete social and political implications of Islamic legal discourse and the autonomy of women's mosque-based activities. She also examines women's mosque access as a trope in Western travelers' narratives and the evolving significance of women's mosque attendance among different Islamic currents in the twentieth century. 606 $aWomen (Islamic law) 606 $aMosques (Islamic law) 606 $aWomen in Islam 615 0$aWomen (Islamic law) 615 0$aMosques (Islamic law) 615 0$aWomen in Islam. 676 $a297.3/51082 700 $aKatz$b Marion Holmes$f1967-$0698258 702 $aWannemacher$b Jordan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809477203321 996 $aWomen in the mosque$94112325 997 $aUNINA
