Cut From the Same Cloth? Muslim Women on Life in Britain by Sabeena Akhtar
4.0
This was a great essay collection about what it’s like to be a Muslim woman in Britain in this day and age!
Thank you to Unbound for sending me a review copy.
I enjoyed reading this book as its essays span a variety of topics from career, social media, Covid-19 and Grenfell to dating, modesty, racism, and family life. The book isn’t secular/purely cultural in nature as all the authors are practicing Muslims, but they also do not focus on religion in the stereotypical way (ie. answering stupid questions about the hijab etc…) and have a range of backgrounds from different ethnicities to converts to the faith as well as those who grew up Muslim. Would absolutely recommend this to everyone!
