In Malaysia, members of Sisters in Islam are challenging sexist interpretations of Islamic theology and law. And throughout the Arabic-speaking world, satellite TV stations like Al-Jazeera have spawned 'new Scheherazades' - women journalists and hosts whose voices have a powerful impact on the public discourse.
