Extracts from the Book

"It may well be that the restrictions imposed... are reinforced and magnified... by structures that institutionalise both Western and indigenous elements of patriarchy. All come together to disadvantage women vis-รก-vis men. But it is also true that such disadvantages exist in all societies. The degree and type of disadvantage differs from culture to culture, but the fact of disadvantage is universal and certainly not unique to Islamic (or even Indian) societies." (Callaway & Creevey,1994 cited in Hassim,2007)
