Ahead of its time and ideal for Women's History Month promotions, The Face Behind the Veil opens a window on a culture as diverse as it is misunderstood. Here are Muslim-American women, in all their diversity--doctors, soccer moms rebels, reformers, former political prisoners, survivors, activists--women of faith, courage, hope, and change--all Muslims, all Americans. Extraordinary and moving, it is the only book of its kind and is the first to explore America's Muslim women--from "The New Traditionalists" (women who wear the veil but consider themselves spiritual) to "The Converts" (women from other religious backgrounds who have converted to Islam) and the myriad of women that fall somewhere in between. Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Donna Gehrke-White provides a rare, revealing look into the hearts, minds, and everyday lives of Mulsim women in America.
