BOOK REVIEW: Educating Muslim Women: The West African Legacy of Nana Asma’u (1793-1864)

Educating Muslim Women is a unique study of Muslim women told through the story of Nana Asma’u, a nineteenth-century Fulani woman from Northern Nigeria who became a renowned scholar and greatly impacted Muslim women in Nigeria and beyond. Drawing on history, literary analysis, and ethnography the volume’s slimness belies a wealth of material that will interest historians, applied linguists, and even sociologists of contemporary Muslim communities.
