Hijab has long been a deeply misunderstood expression, where many assign their own meaning to it instead of listening to those who choose it. A must read for anyone wishing to go beyond assumptions and stereotypes. Dalia mogahed, director of Research, Institute for Social Policy and Understanding ISPU. How do different societies relate to a veiled woman? can covering the hair be an act of defiance and empowerment? Can the veil be seen as an expression of one's own sensuality? Part academic and part confessional, the stories inside help answer these questions by moving beyond the religious significance attached to this controversial stretch of fabric.
What does the word “veiling” mean to you? For some it is an emblem of piety, while others condemn it as a patriarchal tool of oppression. This anthology of personal essays from around the globe demystifies the individual significance of the veil by taking you inside the hearts and minds of those who have experienced it first hand.
This important collection of essays offers a window into the personal narratives of the women who observe this practice, allowing Muslim women to speak for themselves.

Modern Misogyny: Anti-Feminism in a Post-Feminist Era
Finally, it takes a fresh look at the positive role that feminism plays in today's "post-feminist" era, and how feminism does and might function in women's lives. In fact, women have been so successful in achieving equality, the argument goes, it is now men who currently are at risk of becoming irrelevant and unnecessary.
It interrogates the assumption that feminism is unnecessary, that women have achieved equality, and therefore those women who do insist on being feminists want to get ahead of men. This book addresses the nature, function, and implications of modern anti-feminism in the United States. Modern misogyny explores the landscape of popular culture and politics, emphasizing relatively recent moves away from feminist activism to individualism and consumerism where "self-empowerment" represents women's progress.
It also explores the retreat to traditional gender roles after September 11, 2001. It considers the widespread notion that the feminist movement has ended, in large part because the work of feminism has been completed. Anderson calls for a revived feminism that is vigilant in combatting modern forms of sexism.
Some commentators describe the state of feminism as "post-feminist, " alongside equally questionable claims of Barack Obama's election as signaling a "post-racial" America.
