This Element examines issues related to Muslim women's engagement in science and scholarship both past and present. It discusses the contributions made by Muslim women to scholarly, scientific, and technological advancements, and the factors that have contributed to a decline in Muslim women's scholarly involvement in Islamic civilisation.
This Element examines issues related to Muslim women''s engagement in science and scholarship both past and present. The first two parts discuss the contributions made by Muslim women to scholarly, scientific, and technological advancements. The third part discusses the factors that have contributed to a decline in Muslim women''s scholarly involvement in Islamic civilisation, the veracity of historical accounts, and the constraints in original knowledge production in contemporary Muslim societies. It finds that there are no religious restrictions rooted in the Qur''an that forbid women from pursuing a profession in science, whether as learners or practitioners. Yet some economic and political circumstances, cultural influences, and outdated interpretations of Islam produce discrimination against women in Muslim societies, and lead to their underrepresentation in scientific research and academia.
