Islamic Feminism ALREADY PASSED

What is Islamic Feminist Discourse? -- Derived from the Qu'ran - Advocates gender equality (which is affirmed by the Qu'ran + prevented/subverted by patriarchal ideas & practices) - The fiqh in 9th Classic 9th century was saturated with patriarchal ideas which impacted the Sharia (which today gives women less rights than men) Liberal Feminism -- Women's subordination is because they aren't integrated with the public sphere -believe that they need to integrate women into the courts and politics etc... Radical Feminism -- uniform discrimination when controlling womens sexuality -want women's sexual liberation Marxist Feminism -- class based and class plays important role Third World Feminism (East/West Dynamic) -- women arguing that they are oppressed because of where they are from, believing that the west is oppressing them - reject western feminist views Post Modern Feminism -- women as a category is deconstructed - women are not oppressed in the same way - oppression is different depending on background and circumstances Nationalism & Feminism -- Feminism & Nationalism are interlinked in the Middle East
