Muslim Women Are Everything audiobook

This book really busts the proverbial oppressed and submissive Muslim women stereotypes. A really essential book to read. Thoroughly enjoyable and it definitely broadened my horizons and thought process. Women can do anything they put their minds to and still be true to themselves and their beliefs. Five Stars

A must-have for every bookshelf! This book is a stunning and timely celebration that will fill everyone who reads it with hope, admiration, and inspiration. I can't recommend it more highly! As a Muslim woman, I'm especially grateful that this book even EXISTS. And what a gift, moreover, that it exists with such brilliant prose combined with such stunning imagery.

“Books are a weapon. A peaceful weapon perhaps, but they are a weapon.” - Mariama Bâ This collection was absolutely amazing. I knew I would automatically love this book when it started with my fave SZA. There are so many great women in this book, and I was constantly googling to learn more about them. I felt so inspired by so many of their stories, and I loved how this story included Muslim women from all kinds of backgrounds and even different time periods. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous too. I definitely see me making this a coffee table book that everyone can see, especially because it's easily formatted so that you can read a story or two at a time. “If you say, ‘What’s your footstep? What’s your legacy?’ it is not you defining that. It is the people after you who define that for you.” - Tahani Amer *Thank you to Books Forward and the publisher for sending me a copy.

This is such a good broad variety of amazing women who portray the multitude of diversity within Islam. It features sportswomen, political figures, tv reality stars, scientists...such a broad scope! I definitely fall into the category of historian (do I get to call myself that now? History degree is nearly 2/3 done lol) that features primarily on white euro-centric aspects so the historical info was amazing to read.I'd definitely recommend.

This is a very important book that I just had to read. I have many Muslim friends but they are all men or boys. Where I am from there were many many Muslim people. But the women were never part of anything that we had for the public. The reason as to why is because the women were sure to think that we would not understand the because they are so different from other women. Now that I have read the book, I understand what the women go thru at times. Just because they are different, it does not mean we can shun them or think bad of them. There are many, many , many Muslim women who can do anything in this word. No matter what, they are people too and should be loved by all. This book is the absolutely the best book I have read this year. This was one of those books that In have read within a day, it was that good and beautiful. @booksforwardpr#booksforwardfriends

This is a lovely piece of non fiction, documenting the work and achievements of Muslim women across the world, throughout history. Each chapter is about a different woman and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to their triumphs and the way they overcame adversity. Two of my particular favourites were the chapters on the Muslim biker gang and on Ilyana Insyirah, a hijaab-wearing scuba-diving midwife. The whole book was incredibly uplifting and I learned a lot about women I'd never previously come across.

This is a fun book that presents the multitude of ways one can live as a muslim and a woman. I resonated deeply with the introduction, in particular. I’m not one for profiles of people, but if I had a daughter, I’d definitely share this book with her.

A well done book profiling women who are living their lives with the common thread of being Muslim. Each women’s profile shares interesting items about the woman and the way she is rising/risen to be who she is in.A beautiful and appreciated aspect is the diversity which the author sought out and truly captured, not just the stereotypical Middle Eastern women in hijab.The illustrations exude pure artistic talent.

I was looking through my books the other day and found these three books about Women that I wanted to share with you. These books feature everyday women, women that are trailblazers, women that change the world, and women that continue to shatter glass ceilings. These books are about women that are artists, bakers, comedians, athletes, politicians and entrepreneurs. These books are about changing the stereotypes and instead sharing the beauty, diversity and strength that women bring to the table!Today I’m up on my pedestal, shouting to be heard about how important it to have a woman in every room, at every meeting and every decision. And as a woman I need to stay on that pedestal and continue to work hard to open doors for the next generation. Make sure you are heard, GO VOTE!

In Praise of Muslim WomenThis is really nice book for middle grade students on up. It covers the lives of several important women in the world who were Muslim. I think many Muslim girls want to learn more about important Muslim women and hear their praises sung. It’s good for other readers too. As a teacher of many Muslim girls I want to know about books out there which are relevant. This is very good.

Shares the many activities women of the faith engage in, even if they are a dude. Many flee their country as they are threatened there and a Western country is more accepting of their faith/beliefs/behaviors. Includes women of the past, features animation-like illustrations. Insightful.

I listened to the audiobook through the library. Next I want to read the book so I can see the accompanying illustrations of these fascinating, often inspiring books of diverse Muslim women from all over the world.

I loved hearing about different Muslim women across the globe! Very inspiring.
