the male scholarly perspective and the need to replace this with an academic
landscape more reflective and accommodating of the experiences and
scholarly vantage points of women. To this end, she profiles the works of
several (Muslim) men in Islamic Studies (myself included) and highlights
the various ways in which they omit, overlook, undervalue, or dismiss the
topic of women or the scholarly views and interventions of female scholars.

Problem of Black Suffering) alongside some of the broader issues she raises
as part of her general critique. I will leave it to the other male scholars she
profiles to respond to what she has to say about their work ...
