Review Quotes: "This unusual and eye-opening monograph is part family history, part traditional history, part ethnography, and part exploration of historical methodology, all successfully integrated into a streamlined volume. . . . This accessible and slim monograph is a rich resource for both undergraduates and scholars."--Sarah Leila Safarkhan Moazeni "Resources for Gender and Women's Studies"
