Frequent reports of honor killings, disfigurement, and sensational abuse have given rise to a consensus in the West, a message propagated by human rights groups and the media: Muslim women need to be rescued. Lila Abu-Lughod boldly challenges this conclusion. An anthropologist who has been writing about Arab women for thirty years, she delves into the predicaments of Muslim women today, questioning whether generalizations about Islamic culture can explain the hardships these women face and asking what motivates particular individuals and institutions to promote their rights.

In recent years Abu-Lughod has struggled to reconcile the popular image of women victimized by Islam with the complex women she has known through her research in various communities in the Muslim world. Here, she renders that divide vivid by presenting detailed vignettes of the lives of ordinary Muslim women, and showing that the problem of gender inequality cannot be laid at the feet of religion alone. Poverty and authoritarianism--conditions not unique to the Islamic world, and produced out of global interconnections that implicate the West--are often more decisive. The standard Western vocabulary of oppression, choice, and freedom is too blunt to describe these women's lives.

Do Muslim Women Need Saving? is an indictment of a mindset that has justified all manner of foreign interference, including military invasion, in the name of rescuing women from Islam--as well as a moving portrait of women's actual experiences, and of the contingencies with which they live.

阿拉伯世界穆斯林需要拯救，這是 international feminsts扭曲後的事實，然後被小布什們用來作為戰爭的藉口。清朝中國的纏足和當代穆斯林婦女的面巾是同樣的政治道具。

最开始学习性别和宗教时对我启蒙和帮助非常大的一本书，讲述了作者自己作为一名穆斯林女权主义学者的心路和感受，解除了许多人对于穆斯林女性和穆斯林女权主义者的误解和偏见。

“她什么都懂，却还那么天真”。左翼视角的打脸大法，现在看来似乎都是非常基本的认识问题Ծ‸Ծ感情很充沛，分析地也清晰，是一本好看的参考书。

非常好的书 很有洞见但是读起来很流畅 我们需要这种研究. 读了之后我开始反思国内当下的一些性别性取向议题
