Price of Honor: Muslim Women Lift the Veil of Silence on the Islamic World

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK

â€œExplains powerfully how Muslim women are affected by the rise of fundamentalism.â€â€”Dan Rather

In recent years, the expanding movement of militant Islam has changed the way millions think, behave, dress, and live, but nowhere has its impact been more powerfully felt than in its dramatic, often devastating effect on the lives of women. Award-winning journalist Jan Goodwin traveled through ten Islamic countries and interviewed hundreds of Muslim women, from professionals to peasants, from royalty to rebels.Â The result is an unforgettable journey into a world where women are confined, isolated, even killed for the sake of a â€œcode of honorâ€ created and zealously enforced by men.Â

Price of Honor brings to life a world in which women have become pawns in a bitter power game, and gives readers a provocative look inside Muslim society todayâ€”in their own words.
