Comparing and Contrasting Two Articles on the Role of Women in the Pre- Islamic Period.
The status of women in early Islam is a concept that is covered by authors Barbara Fryer Stowasser in her article "The Status of Women in Early Islam" and Leila Ahmed in "Women and the Rise of Islam". These two articles differ significantly in terms of the role that women played within society during the development of Islam, despite the fact that both Stowasser and Ahmed address similar time periods and geographic regions. The views of these two authors are explored within this paper in order to better define the image of the woman in early Arabia.
