The Women of the Arabs

"The Women of the Arabs" by Henry Harris Jessup is a historical exploration examining the lives of women in Arab society, particularly their experiences before Islam, during the early Islamic period, and within different religious communities. The book highlights both the mistreatment of women, like the practice of burying baby girls alive, and celebrates their strength, showing examples of women who were famous poets. The author also looks at how Christian missionaries worked to improve education and living conditions for females.
