Event information

What does it mean, exactly, to be a Muslim woman in the West today? According to the media, it’s all about the burqa. In a landmark anthology published by Picador earlier this year, seventeen Muslim women decided to change the narrative, writing frankly and engagingly about the hijab and wavering faith, about love and divorce, about feminism, queer identity, sex, and the twin threats of a disapproving community and a racist country. It’s an extraordinary, important book, and we’re honoured that the anthology’s editor, Mariam Khan, as well as three contributing authors, will be joining us to speak about the project and their work.
