Summary "This book covers a range of subjects related to women, nursing and Islam, with insights provided by a diversity of authors, each with their own relevant expertise. The writings encompass multiple dimensions of the field, ranging from the status of girls' and women's education to their place in society. The volume makes a significant contribution to understanding nursing from the perspective of Islamic society. It also presents nursing in a broad social context while simultaneously providing country-specific examples through well-written country vignettes from Iraq, Lebanon, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh and Afghanistan."--BOOK JACKET
