Abstract "The Oxford Encyclopedia of Islam and Women provides clear, current, comprehensive information on the major topics of scholarly interest within the study of Islam and women. With more than 450 articles written by leading international experts and with a concentration on contemporary issues, it is a single source for accurate overview articles covering all aspects of this flourishing area of research. Organized around the central conceptual themes in research on Islam and women: Theory, Practice, and Interpretation of Religion; Self and Body; Immigration and Minorities; Sharia, Fiqh, Philosophy, and Reason; Culture and Expression; Wealth, Welfare and Labor; Politics and Polity; Scholarly Approaches and Theoretical Constructs; Community and Society; Science; Medicine and Education among others, this work examines the scholarship on Islam and women that has expanded exponentially over the past twenty years, as well as cross-pollination between other fields and disciplines.-- Publisher's website.
