The liberation of women from the shackles of backwardness is a duty upon them and the concerned governments, and it is indeed a human obligation. Continuous education is the path to desired freedom, combining heritage and modernity. This illumination perhaps represents the most prominent aspect of this book, filled with responsible and serious studies. Adnan Al-Sayyid Hussein, a former minister and president of the Lebanese University, goes on a knowledgeable, cultural, and analytical journey led by the author, Latifa Al-Hajj, guiding her reader through the realm of women in Islam. This journey reviews the stages of women's presence in the history of Islamic civilization and also examines the current reality of this presence through conferences, workshops, and seminars, along with the efforts women make for their contemporary existence. It is a tour that not only presents but frequently delves into analysis and discussion in pursuit of uncovering truths that the author perceives, laboring to demonstrate their proof and reality. Here, Latifa Al-Hajj walks with the confidence of an intellectual writer and analyst to speak about the image and presence of women within Islam, and Latifa Al-Hajj, in all this, is a Muslim woman, seeking the essence of expressions by scrutinizing their truths. Dr. Wajih Fanous, Secretary-General of the Lebanese Writers Union, noted the book's boldness, seriousness, comprehensiveness, and multiple valuable sources and references, which made important contributions to the Arab and Islamic library and for every researcher, student, intellectual, and interested individual.
