RedditWelcome to the Muslim Women Speak Series. This series was created in collaboration with altmuslimah.com a website “exploring both sides of the gender divide.”
Several months ago I approached Asma T. Uddin, Founder and Executive Editor of altmuslimah, and asked her if she would be interested in featuring some of her writers on Gender Across Borders. She was excited about the collaboration, and about the chance to showcase the diversity of subjects and opinions on her site. Despite the wide-held stereotype of Muslim women as one homogenous, veiled, repressed mass, they are a group as variant as they are numerous.
I encourage you to visit Altmuslimah and read through the site and enjoy the posts we will feature here.
