Foreign Affairs LIVE – April 27, 2010
Islamic Feminism & the Global Glass Ceiling
In Paradise Beneath Her Feet: How Women are Transforming the Middle East, Isobel Coleman explores how Muslim women and men are using progressive interpretations of Islam to support women’s rights in a growing movement of Islamic feminism.
Coleman’s forthcoming article in the May/June 2010 issue of Foreign Affairs complements her new book by providing a guide for businesses on how to empower women while also improving their bottom line.
On April 27 at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, this exciting installment of Foreign Affairs LIVE will expose our readers to Isobel Coleman's research and insights.
