Women Living
Under Muslim Laws is excited to announce that our 2009 publication, Walking
a Tightrope: Women and Veiling in the United Kingdom by Ayesha Salma
Kariapper is now available for free!
This important study examines the
ways in which public debates over the headscarf and the full-face veil have
shaped the strategies of women from Muslim communities in the UK for dealing
with the limitations imposed on them in the name of religion, culture,
tradition and identity within the community, and with racism and exclusion from
mainstream society.
The first evidence-based book in the United Kingdom on the issue of Muslim women’s dress codes, the purpose of this study was to document the experiences and analyse the implications of veiling practices for women living in a multicultural society.
