summary
Has Arab Spring made life better for Muslim women? Has new media brought feminists together, or has it become a tool to organize the opposition? This essential collection is updated with a new introduction and essay, offering an insider view on how Muslim women are navigating technology, public space, secularism/fundamentalism, and citizenship.
