Abstract
Islamic Feminism has been heatedly debated.Secular feminists, on the one hand, reject it because they argue that religions in general and Islam in particular are oppressive to women.Many other Muslim women also reject it because they feel that ‘Feminism’ is a secular invention imposed on them from the West. On the other hand, Islamic Feminism has also been widely embraced by both activists and scholars. They regard it as a tool to counter these allegations and misconceptions.
The dissertation will show how, through literature, the pro-Islamic feminist writers attempt to challenge and counter the conceptions and attitudes of the anti-Islamic feminist writers. The four chosen writers, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Taslima Nasrin, Randa Abdel-Fattah, and Leila Aboulela represent the two contradicting camps of Islamic Feminism. They also represent different Muslim countries:Somalia, Bangladesh, Egypt,and the Sudan. These writers have had a great influence on their readers, the feminist movement as a whole and on Islamic Feminism in particular.
