"Voices of Resistance: Muslim Women on War, Faith and Sexuality" is a diverse collection of writing by Muslim women, whose experiences are particularly poignant given contemporary political realities. The contributors hail from over a dozen countries, and share stories about their bodies and their communities. One woman mourns the death of a cousin killed in a suicide bombing, while another confronts sexism and hypocrisy on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.
