About the Author
In this insightful volume, Mariam Youssef deftly examines three different survival communities and the outcome their religious strategies have had on their own women. One of the many beauties of this book is the author’s ability to recognize the trauma of the group, the desire of the women to support the community, and yet provide an intelligent critique with a pathway for future strategies. It is a great example of how comparative research should function.
