Signed with sentiment by the author on the fep. The inscription reads: "With best wishes Geraldine Brooks". An intimate portrait of the lives of modern Muslim women reveals how male pride and power have distorted the message of Islam to justify the subjugation of women and how a feminism of sorts has flowered in spite of repression. Geraldine Brooks AO (born 14 September 1955) is an Australian-American journalist and novelist whose 2005 novel March won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. She was eligible for the prize by virtue of her American citizenship, and was the first Australian to win the prize. A native of Sydney, Geraldine attended Bethlehem College, a secondary school for girls, and the University of Sydney. Following graduation, she was a reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald and, after winning a Greg Shackleton Memorial Scholarship, moved to the United States, completing a master's degree at New York City's Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1983. The following year, in the Southern France artisan village of Tourrettes-sur- Loup, she married American journalist Tony Horwitz and converted to Judaism. Brooks's first book, Nine Parts of Desire (1994), based on her experiences among Muslim women in the Middle East, was an international bestseller, translated into 17 languages. More

London: Oxford University Press for The International Institute for Strategic Studies, 2003. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. 94, [2] pages. Notes. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Minor sticker residue on front cover. Dr Tim Edmunds is a Lecturer in the Politics Department of Bristol University. He gained a BA (1st) in Peace Studies at the University of Bradford in 1994, and completed his doctorate at the University of Sheffield in 1998. He was a postdoctoral research fellow at the School of Politics, University of Nottingham between 1999-2000, and a Lecturer at King's College London and the Joint Services Command and Staff College between 2000-03. His research focuses on defence and security institutions in processes of political and organisational change. Using empirical studies of the postcommunist region, former Yugoslavia and more recently the UK, he examines how organizational responses to common challenges - democratization, European integration and military reform - are shaped by contingent factors. He is particularly interested in how social, political and institutional preferences interact with international norms and domestic circumstance to condition processes of change. More
