Muslim Women Are Everything
Seema Yasmin, Fahmida Azim (illustration)Tired of seeing Muslim women portrayed as weak, sheltered, and limited, journalist Seema Yasmin reframes how the world sees them, to reveal everything they CAN do & the incredible, stereotype-shattering ways they are doing it. Featuring 125 full-color illustrations by illustrator Fahmida Azim throughout, Muslim Women Are Everything is a celebration of the ways in which past & present Muslim women from around the world are singing, dancing, reading, writing, laughing, experimenting, driving, & rocking their way into the history books.
Forget subservient, oppressed damsels--say hello to women who are breaking down barriers using their art, their voices, & their activism, including:
Tesnim Sayar from Denmark, a Muslim goth-punk who wears a red tartan mohawk on top of her hijab
American superstar singer SZA, who sings alongside Rihanna & writes songs for Beyoncé
Nura Afia, CoverGirl's first hijabi ambassador
Ilhan Omar & Rashida Tlaib, America's first Muslim congresswomen
Ilyana Insyirah, a hijaab-wearing scuba-diving midwife from Australia
Showcasing women who defy categorization, Muslim Women Are Everything proves that to be Muslim & a woman is to be many things: strong, vulnerable, trans, disabled, funny, entrepreneurial, burqa or bikini clad, & so much more.
