BADASS Muslimahs

I've had enough of the sensationalist, exoticised, demeaning portrayals of Muslim women seen all throughout the media, and this is my way of countering all the nonsense.

This is not an attempt at 'breaking stereotypes' or trying to enlighten people, if you're ignorant enough to believe that Muslim women are oppressed and subjugated by Islam then that's your own problem.

This is my way of giving recognition to all the women who inspire me, and hopefully sending out some positive vibes.

Peace.

The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf- Mohja Kahf
A Muslim Feminist Novel
I don’t think I’ve ever resonated with a novel like I have with The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf. Kahf eloquently writes a “provocative” bildungsroman novel through the eyes of Khadra Shamy and her American journey, that shifts through her stages of practicing Islam, and her muslim feminist awakening. Kahf delves into the Muslim community in America and abroad as she scales though religious, social, and political problems of the 1970’s-1980’s that still mirror the community and it’s youth today.
A must read for muslims and non-muslims!
