In the United States, precious little is known about the active role Muslim women have played for nearly a century in the religious culture of Indonesia, the largest majority-Muslim country in the world. While much of the Muslim world excludes women from the domain of religious authority, the country's two leading Muslim organizations--Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)--have created enormous networks led by women who interpret sacred texts and exercise powerful religious influence. In Women Shaping Islam, Pieternella van Doorn-Harder explores the work of these contemporary women leaders, examining their attitudes toward the rise of radical Islamists; the actions of the authoritarian Soeharto regime; women's education and employment; birth control and family planning; and sexual morality. Ultimately, van Doorn-Harder reveals the many ways in which Muslim women leaders understand and utilize Islam as a significant force for societal chan≥ one that ultimately improves the economic, social, and psychological condition of women in Indonesian society.

The author covers the development of the women's arm of the two most important Islamic organisations in the country. These women managed to modernise family life (interestingly, sometimes inspired by despised colonial and communist ideas) by re-interpreting Islam by stretching its contradictions. The reader will also become aware of the sometimes not so subtle discrimination against women that is still around. ( )
