Muslim Feminisms Forum: An Introduction

“This Ramadan, our colleagues, allies, and friends at The Feminist Wiregenerously offered us the opportunity to collect essays, stories, and poems from fellow Muslimahs and our allies. We received many beautifully written and thoughtful pieces. What follows are only a few of these submissions, representing a broad global, political, cultural, and spiritual range of voices from a diverse group of feminist Muslims and allies as space and time allowed us to collect.

In this continuing era of social, spiritual, and literal warfare based on anti-Muslim rhetoric, political and cultural debate about Muslim women (both within and outside of Muslim communities), and rampant, violent Islamophobic racism, we hope that each submission to The Feminist Wire forum on Muslim feminisms will expand this often contentious conversation to a broader audience.”
