Question

"Tapping Our Strength," Eisa Nefertari Ulen
As a Muslim and a womanist, Eisa Nefertari Ulen stands at an important intersection. She challenges Western feminists who criticize women who embrace Islamic traditions to consider whether women who insist on wearing hijab are "unconsciously oppressed" or are they actually, "performing daily acts of resistance." Are they, she asks, actually "the most daring of revolutionaries...storming the gates for our own liberation"? She challenges the reader to see the cutting of Western women for "beautification" as a "virtual duplication" of the cutting of daughters by some Muslim women in the "pre-Islamic practice of genital mutilation." She also challenges those who claim to practice Islam while violating its teachings by dishonoring women. Ultimately she calls for the building of bridges among Muslims and non-Muslims, and among warrior women who "have so much work to do."

a. starting 100 years ago
b. starting 200 years ago
c. never
d. 1400 years ago
