A fantastic anthology of essays and women’s experiences of being British Muslim.

I learned a lot from each of the writers in this book and I would highly recommend it.

What a refreshing and informative anthology of essays on Muslim women conditions and deeper thoughts in Britain. I emerged myself completely in each of these women’s story and learn or relearn so many things about Islam and women from a western gaze and how ostracised they are because of their appearance.
I strongly recommend this book to everyone.

One of the best anthologies I’ve ever read. 

Each essay is so thoughtful and layered. You have to pause after each to take it in and feel it. One of the contributors said everyone poured their hearts into their contributions and you really feel that as a reader.

The only problem with this book is expressing how much it means to have experienced reading it. I highly recommend reading this book and reflecting on the beautiful words of each contributor.
