At least islamic women in the middle east has some woman willing to try to have a conversation amongst the culture she lives within in order to enact slow change within the community, she put forward a belief that western women feminists were somewhat empirialist to tell the arab women what to do, in other words, she was saying to feminists in the west, what right do you have to look down upon us and tell us what to do. I am studying her books now .
