Many conflicting narratives exist regarding women in Islam and this subject is the cause of much criticism from the West levelled against Islam as a religion. The discrepancies between Islamic religious discourse and the practice of Muslim communities are often disregarded.

Women In Islam - Challenging Narratives intends to address certain misconceptions about women in Islam and dispel some common myths. At the same time this book also challenges the accepted narrative that women in modern Western cultures are emancipated.

The chapter titled 'Women in Islam' provides a more accurate represntation of the lofty position conferred to women within the Islamic tradition which is often illusive in Muslim communities around the globe.

A final analysis of feminist discourse scrutinises the impact of the feminist movement on setting new ideals for women that negate their roles within the family and home and assesses whether this has created greater challenges for women in the modern era.
