Ahmed locates her political awakening in her childhood, when she first discovered the contrast between men’s and women’s ways of knowing and discussing Islam in her grandmother’s living room.

She takes on the subject first and foremost as a scholar, but also as a woman of Egyptian descent living in the West. This article examines the reinterpretation project of an Islamic feminist movement in Malaysia, Sisters In Islam (SIS), by analysing some of its book projects on the issues of equality, women judges in the Shariah Courts, and Islam and polygamy.
