Description

Using the iconic, mysterious figure of Nusaybah bint Ka'ab, the 7th century warrior woman who fought alongside Prophet Mohammed, this collection of essays explores race, identity, early Islamic history, 7th century Arabia and contemporary feminism, moving from the origins of the hijab to the feminising of food, from superhero narratives to the evolution of sharia law.

Stories about Nusaybah are woven through it all, as are the author's memories of growing up in Jerusalem, their current experiences of living in Britain and their reflections on being a secular, feminist British-Palestinian woman from a Muslim family.
