The emancipation of women cannot be complete unless it is coupled with the emancipation of men. This can only be accomplished by drawing our social values from the Quran and the sunnah. In this volume, the author shows that mixed social life was the pattern in the early Muslim society established by the Prophet. This author's study of authentic sayings of the Prophet Muhammad will illustrate the status of the Muslim woman that is greatly different from what is assumed in most Muslim societies today.
