| Summary: | The new generation of women who are influenced by discourse and values in modernity and woman-hood are seeking new identity for themselves. Any speculations and scholarly discourse provides women with means to better understand themselves as individuals capable of deliberation and action, who can present themselves, as modern Muslim women. Following the Muslim women's engagements in this discourse, the author of this thesis takes perspective from Shirin Ebadi, who unassumingly has credentials to be considered as a prototype of modern Muslim woman. No study of Shirin Ebadi can do justice to the complexity of her life and work without taking into account the many incongruity present in her experiences which shapes her thought. This thesis attempts to look at this sensibility and the greater discourse will consider the manifestation of the modern Muslim woman character, as an individual who acknowledges her sex, religion and the inevitable changes of time. |
