Islamic history and religious texts are rich with examples of women’s leadership and gender equality. Yet, the modern Muslim woman frequently finds herself without adequate spaces to worship in the mosque or none at all, shut out from decision-making processes that affect the entire community, and excluded from opportunities to lead and to share knowledge that may benefit the community at large.
