About the Book:

In June 2019 a five-day conference of Muslim women from all five continents took place in Granada. The aim: to address the challenges facing us in the 21st century.

This anthology now makes six formidable talks - delivered by Aisha Bewley, Ibtissam Ahmed, Rahima Brandt, Khadija Martinez, Tahira Narbona, and Rabea Redpath - available for continued consideration and ongoing inspiration.

The recent changes in our lives, brought about by the worldwide pandemic, make these talks and the profound yet positive reflections that they provoke, even more, meaningful and pertinent for both women and men of our time.
