Recenzje

'… this book is a very good addition to the existing literature on gender studies. It provides a valuable and in-depth treatment of gender hierarchy in the Qur'ān. The [breadth] of classical and modern scholarly works surveyed in this book as well as the presentation of Sunni and Sh'ah views show the extensive effort made by Bauer to produce this book.' Shahrul Hussain, The Muslim World Book Review
