![Our Moslem Sisters: A Cry of Need from Lands of Darkness Interpreted by Those Who Heard It [Hardcover]](https://thebookishowl.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/71KEwEPW-xL.jpg)
Description
This significant historical document, edited by Annie Van Sommer and Samuel M. Zwemer, compiles firsthand accounts and observations regarding the status and circumstances of Muslim women during the colonial era. The work represents the perspectives of Christian missionaries and Western observers who documented their encounters with Muslim societies across diverse geographic regions.
The book reflects the missionary movement’s efforts to understand and address what they perceived as the needs and challenges faced by Muslim women. Through multiple contributor accounts, it provides insights into domestic life, social practices, and cultural traditions as interpreted through a Western Christian lens. While valuable as a historical primary source, the work should be understood within its specific cultural and temporal context, representing early 20th-century Western attitudes toward Islam and Muslim societies.
This volume remains relevant for scholars studying missionary history, orientalism, interfaith relations, and women’s history during the colonial period.
