Rasha al-Disuqi begins by analyzing the Muslim woman's goal in the U.S. and compares it to that of the secular feminist movement. She provides an overview of the rights granted to Muslim women and sheds light on the benefits to society when these rights are applied. Sister Rasha provides a fresh perspective by looking at seven key rights that Islam affords women in the context of modern-day society. She also deals with many issues that are often misunderstood by many, including Muslims, such as the woman's responsibility of da'wah, the women's voice as aurah, the hadith about women's deficiency, the degree of men over women and the woman's participation in society. Aminah Assilmi tackles the misconceptions regarding Muslim women in American society and explains that if Muslims want to have an impact, they have to take seriously how they relate to people and how the teachings of Islam are explained to them. Does the Qur'an sanction wife-beating? What about polygamy? And why do Muslim women cover their heads? Other topics discussed: the different roles of men and women, women reciting the Qur'an in public, women wearing the hijab with tight clothing, women as politicians, women going outside the home for leisure and work, how the Prophet (P) treated his wives, and the hadith about women in Hell.

"If you examine the rights that are supposed to be given as compared to the rights that are being given now and practiced, you'll find that we are far behind the 7th Century. We are not practicing the rights that the Prophet (S) has given women!" -Rasha al-Disuqi "No where in Islam does it say that men, with all respect to all the men in the world, can dictate to women the way they practice Islam... Neither in the Qur'an nor in any hadith... has it been said ever that a male [is allowed to] control a female's mind." -Rasha al-Disuqi "Sisters need to change the way they perceive of themselves and also brothers need to change the way they perceive of sisters and the rights that they have." -Rasha al-Disuqi "When a woman inherits, a woman inherits half of the man and the man inherits twice as much as the woman because he has to take care of all the women in his family!" -Rasha al-Disuqi "Women have everything. If you really understand [Islam], Allah took such good care of us." -Aminah Assilmi "The one who holds [the woman] captive is also a captive; he will never be free either... it's a heavy burden to hold someone captive because you are never able to take your eyes off of them, you are never able to trust them, you are never able to relax, you are never able to be comfortable." -Aminah Assilmi
