Just finished reading No god but God (read it everyone!11) and was reminded of how awesome Khadija was. One of my favorite women in all of history, not just Islamic history. Aisha is pretty awesome too

I read that one a few weeks ago! But I'll probably have to read it again for a lot of the details to sink in. D: I did love it, though. It put everything I knew about Islam (mostly just from world religions classes and scattered reading online) into a very clear historical and cultural context, showing why and where those traditions and beliefs originated, rather than just the fact that they exist. And all I knew about Khadija before was that she existed, but now I know that she was awesome.
