“A welcome addition to the growing literature on Middle East Women’s struggle for gender and sexual equality. Most innovative for looking at parallels and contrasts between lives of women in Muslim-majority countries and the diasporic Muslim communities of the UK.” (Professor Janet Afary, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA)

“This book offers unique insights into how gender politics, constraints and agency are shaped both in Muslim majority countries (Iran, Morocco, Pakistan) and in UK Muslim diasporic communities. Different contexts and their challenges in performing gender are well articulated - this book is a must-read for those interested in Islamic studies, gender, intersectionality and post-coloniality.” (Professor Khatidja Chantler, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UK)

“This book provides vital insight into the lives and perspectives of women and gender-diverse individuals in different geographical Muslim contexts, providing an important counter to simplistic, singular and stereotypical understandings. Deeply intersectional in approach, it captures the richness and variety of experiences among women and gender-diverse individuals in a way that is much needed.” (Professor Janice McLaughlin, University of Newcastle, Newcastle, UK)
