In seventeenth and eighteenth century Syria and Palestine, Muslim legal thinkers gave considerable attention to women's roles in society, and Tucker shows how fatwas, or legal opinions, greatly influenced these roles. She challenges prevailing views on Islam and gender, revealing Islamic law to have been more fluid and flexible than previously thought. Although the legal system had a consistent patriarchal orientation, it was modulated by sensitivities to the practical needs of women, men, and children. In her comprehensive overview of a field long neglected by scholars, Tucker deepens our understanding of how societies, including our own, construct gender roles. 517 3 $aGender and Islamic law in Ottoman Syria and Palestine 606 $aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc$zSyria$xHistory 606 $aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc$zPalestine$xHistory 606 $aWomen (Islamic law) 606 $aWomen$zSyria$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen$zPalestine$xSocial conditions 607 $aTurkey$xHistory$yOttoman Empire, 1288-1918 615 0$aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen (Islamic law) 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.42/095691 700 $aTucker$b Judith E.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0510582 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248279003316 996 $aIn the house of the law$91296222 997 $aUNISA
