A diverse collection of essays with a focus on how Muslim women are seen and relate to the western world. The premise of the collection is about visibility but as a double edge sword. The head scarfs such as a Burqa are at once an aspect of personal faith and practice and also a symbol to outsiders and so a potential point of conflict.
