Started reading this expecting to be bored out of my mind, since it's a linguistic anthropology text. It suprised me by keeping my attention and interest.Great text on women in Islam and how women use difficult circumstances to their advantage (sometimes). Great book for beginning scholars who have an interest in women in Islam (or really any culture that may be interpreted as "oppressive").
