Fourteen centuries of Islamic thought have produced a legacy of interpretive        readings of the Qu'ran written almost entirely by men. Now, with Qu'ran and Woman,        Amina Wadud provides a first interpretive reading by a woman, a reading which        validates the female voice in the Qu'ran and brings it out of the shadows. Muslim        progressives have long argued that it is not the religion but patriarchal        interpretation and implementation of the Qu'ran that have kept women oppressed. For        many, the way to reform is the reexamination and reinterpretation of religious        texts.Qu'ran and Woman contributes a gender inclusive reading to one of the most        fundamental disciplines in Islamic thought, Qu'ranic exegesis. Wadud breaks down        specific texts and key words which have been used to limit women's public and        private role, even to justify violence toward Muslim women, revealing that their        original meaning and context defy such interpretations. What her analysis clarifies        is the lack of gender bias, precedence, or prejudice in the essential language of        the Qur'an.Despite much Qu'ranic evidence about the significance of women, gender        reform in Muslim society has been stubbornly resisted. Wadud's reading of the Qu'ran        confirms women's equality and constitutes legitimate grounds for contesting the        unequal treatment that women have experienced historically and continue to        experience legally in Muslim communities. The Qu'ran does not prescribe one timeless        and unchanging social structure for men and women, Wadud argues lucidly, affirming        that the Qu'ran holds greater possibilities for guiding human society to a more        fulfilling and productive mutual collaboration between men and women than as yet        attained by Muslims or non-Muslims.
