Contents: Introduction: How perceptions of woman influence interpretation of the Qurʼan. -- In the beginning, man and woman were equal: human creation in the Qurʼan. -- The Qurʼanic view of woman in this world. -- The equity of recompense: the hereafter in the Qurʼan. -- Rights and roles of women: some controversies. -- Conclusion. -- Appendix: List of female characters mentioned in the Qurʼan. Summary: Fourteen centuries of Islamic thought have produced a legacy of interpretive readings of the Qu'ran written almost entirely by men. Now, with Qu'ran and Woman, Amina Wadud provides a first interpretive reading by a woman, a reading which validates the female voice in the Qu'ran and brings it out of the shadows. Muslim progressives have long argued that it is not the religion but patriarchal interpretation and implementation of the Qu'ran that have kept women oppressed. For many, the way to reform is the reexamination and reinterpretation of religious texts. Qu'ran and Woman contributes a gender inclusive reading to one of the most fundamental disciplines in Islamic thought, Qur'anic exegesis.
