Hypatia’s Reviews > Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes > Status Update

Just finished the chapter on the Sufis (Chapter 7), and I think it’s very interesting. Ansary talks about the renunciation of science and the constriction of women’s roles in society around 1000 CE. I can see some parallels to current times, when science skepticism is so wide spread. There aren’t enough details in this book to delve into the parallels, but it would be an interesting study.
