The Lady Imam: How amina wadud’s Life and Faith Changed the World
“The story of a woman who saw Islam in a new light . . . As Power relates in her appreciative biography . . . wadud has continued to center Black, female, and queer experiences, changing the face of Islam. This enthusiastically voiced biography of her impact on Islam is both pertinent and revelatory, elevating the journey of an intersectional feminist whose work is little known in the Western world . . . a quick and rewarding read about a movement that continues to this day. A fascinating analysis of a Black Muslim woman’s revolutionary impact on Islam.”—Kirkus Reviews
