What is the nature and social role of women? In today s Shi ism, these questions are often answered through the separate but equal ideology which emphasizes the role of women as wives and mothers, and places men in authority. But is this the only ideology which can be derived from Shi i scriptural sources? This book takes a more nuanced approach to that question by exploring how women are portrayed in hadith on ancient sacred narrative the stories of the prophets. It shows far more diverse views on what it means to be a woman (and, by extension, a man) and that early Shi is held competing views about ideals for women.
