Ultimately this is a history of some women in the NOI, not an exploration of why they felt compelled to join an inherently patriarchal, conservative movement. The author uses this phrase a few times, "trumping patriarchy," but doesn't go into detail how submitting to patriarchy actually subverts it (her claim, not mine).
