- Description
- This collection of essays explore how fundamentalism is linked to discrimination and violence against women in such countries as Algeria, Iran, Israel, India and America. It also looks at the clash of civilizations between Islam and the West, or even more at the clashes within civilizations, such as the longstanding struggle between feminists and Christian fundamentalists in the United States. These and other questions are addressed by leading feminist authors and activists including Leila Ahmed, Karen Armstrong, Charlotte Bunch, Barbara Ehrenreich, Eve Ensler, Fatima Mernissi, Martha Nussbaum, Arundhati Roy, and Ellen Willis.
