520 How do pious Shia Muslim women nurture and sustain their
religious lives? How do their experiences and beliefs
differ from or overlap with those of men? What do gender-
based religious roles and interactions reveal about the
Shia Muslim faith? In Partners of Zaynab, Diane D'Souza
presents a rich ethnography of urban Shia women in India,
exploring women's devotional lives through the lens of
religious narrative, sacred space, ritual performance,
leadership, and iconic symbols. Religious scholars have
tended to devalue women's religious expressions, confining
them to the periphery of a male-centered ritual world.
This viewpoint often assumes that women's ritual behaviors
are the unsophisticated product of limited education and
experience and even a less developed female nature. By
illuminating vibrant female narratives within Shia
religious teachings, the fascinating history of a shrine
led by women, the contemporary lives of dynamic female
preachers, and women's popular prayers and rituals of
petition, Partners of Zaynab demonstrates that the
religious lives of women are not a flawed approximation of
male-defined norms and behaviors, but a vigorous,
authentic affirmation of faith within the religious
mainstream. D'Souza questions the distinction between
normative and popular religious behavior, arguing that
such a categorization not only isolates and devalues
female ritual expressions, but also weakens our
understanding of religion as a whole. Partners of Zaynab
offers a compelling glimpse of Muslim faith and practice
and a more complete understanding of the interplay of
gender within Shia Islam.
