In Reaching the Minds of Young Muslim Women, the author investigates traditional institutions of Islamic learning for Muslim girls. While a lot is known or thought to be known about madrases for boys, similar Islamic schools for girls have up to now escaped public attention by and large. In the aftermath of 9/11, madrasas received and continue to receive much public attention, also in the media, mostly owing to the alleged link betwen madrasa education and forms of violence.
