    Very Useful for those researching the Middle East or Human Rights

    This book provided a very comprehensive resource for the study of Women's rights as it pertains to Muslim societies. It detailed the development of family law in various Muslim societies as it progressed through history and into the modern day. Very useful for students, teachers, and scholars!
