The fourth issue of Women in Islam is filled with critical analysis, personal stories, and cultural highlights from the Muslim world.

Further articles address social injustice and legal reform around the world, while others highlight inspiring stories - a womens cycling club in Sudan, and how a young Somali woman followed her dream of becoming a mechanic. With poetry, reviews, and stunning artwork throughout, Women in Islam 4 is essential reading.
