| description | Feminism seeks to remedy the injustice and inequalities confronting women and society at large. Within this broad social movement, points of tension exist between different camps whose trends of thought differ from one another even though they head in one direction.

By exploring Muslim feminist liberal thought and the patriarchal saturated cultural practices of the Muslims, the concept of ummatan wasatan of Islamic feminism is expounded. |
