New Collection of Essays Detail the ‘Secret Love Lives’ of American-Muslim Women

The Takeaway

Be it about wearing the veil or their general place in society, discussion in the West about Muslim women –  especially those conducted by non-Muslims –  tend to portray them as silent, oppressed, and submissive victims. However, a new book titled “Love, InshAllah: The Secret Love Lives of American Muslim Women”  reveals the diverse and sometimes unconventional experiences of Muslim-American women in sex and romance.   Ayesha Mattu and Nura Maznavi are co-authors of “Love Inshallah: The Secret Love Lives of American Muslim Women.”
