Voices of Change

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book is a groundbreaking exploration of the exercise of influence and leadership among a cohort often ignored in Western scholarship—women in a religiously conservative, patriarchal society. Smith explores beyond women from the majority Muslim population who exercise influence by including women from minority groups. Smith pays careful attention to the role the cultural context plays. Anyone interested in leadership, Islamic, cultural, or women’s studies will find Smith’s careful research illuminating.”
