| 1. |  | Dreams Of Trespass: Tales Of A Harem Girlhood from Basic Books Price: $12.41 Customer Review:  Ms. Mernissi states that "The frontier is in the mind of the powerful", and that "...looking for the frontier has become my life's occupation. Anxiety eats at me whenever I cannot situate the geometric line organizing my powerlessness." This book is a very moving first-hand account of the secluded... |

| 2. |  | The Veil And The Male Elite: A Feminist Interpretation Of Women's Rights In Islam from Basic Books Price: $13.84 Customer Review: This book is extremely informative. I learned so much and she explains how Mernissi checked the reliability of the hadiths. This is definitely a must-read for all muslims as it explains the circumstances surrounding many of the revelations and hadiths which puts them into perspective so that one can... |

| 3. |  | Beyond the Veil: Male-Female Dynamics in a Modern Muslim Society from Indiana University Press Price: $13.45 Customer Review:  After reading this book, I have to admit that Mernissi has the ability to convey her message clearly and intellectually. However, I'm most impressed by how she uses secondary and tertiary sources to make some of her strongest points to support her thesis (that female sexuality is suppressed in... |

| 4. |  | Scheherazade Goes West from Washington Square Press Price: $11.90 Customer Review:  This book would have been much better if Mernissi had stuck with witty vignettes about her culture shock and humorous malentendus during her westward sojourn. After all, there are plenty of books by Yanks, Aussies, and Brits about "discovering" the orient. Instead, Mernissi takes it upon herself to... |

| 5. |  | Islam and Democracy: Fear of the Modern World from Basic Books Price: $18.95 Customer Review: In her book, Islam and Democracy, Fatima Mernissi, a Moroccan author, draws back on her personal experiences, not only as a Moslem but also as a woman, to explain why democracy has not caught on in the Arab countries and what are the prospects for the future. Throughout the major part of her book,... |

| 7. |  | The Forgotten Queens of Islam from University of Minnesota Press Price: $18.00 Customer Review:  Mernissi is possessed by the insecurity of her traumatic childhood. The very title of the book "Forgotten Queens of Islam" completely discounts the reality that women even in today's Islamic societies weild political power and involvement unparalleled by women in any other society including the... |

| 8. |  | Harem Within Tales of a Moroccan Girlhood from Bantam Doubleday Dell Customer Review: This book gives a powerful look at the Fez, Morocco of days gone by and the changes that swept through a very cloistered society at the end of the French protectorate. It's a fascinating read and I highly recommend it. |

| 10. | [no image] | Women and Islam: An Historical and Theological Enquiry from Women Unlimited Customer Review: This is the Indian publication of Mernissi's "The Veil and the Male Elite," which is an excellent book. It isn't for those unfamiliar with Islam, however. It does set forth some very satisfying and well-supported views on the role of women in Islam, which -- contrary to popular belief -- has never... |

| 17. | [no image] | Dreams of Trespass Tales of a Harem Girlhood from Addison-Wesley Customer Review: In 1940, harems still abounded in Fez, Morocco. They weren't the opulent, bejeweled harems of Scherezade, but the domestic sprawl of extended families encamped around a walled courtyard that marked the edges of women's lives. Though born into this tightly sheltered world, Fatimi Mernissi is... |
