Around the world, people argue about veiling, schooling for Afghan girls, and "Slut Walk" protests, all of which involve issues of women's sexuality and freedom. David Jacobson takes the reader on a fascinating tour of how self-indentity developed throughout history and what individualism means for muslim societies struggling to maintain a sense of honor in a globalized twenty-first century.
