Amrita reviews Asra Nomani’s new book, Standing Alone in Mecca – A Pilgrimage into the Heart of Islam.
Standing Alone in Mecca is the story of her trip, but it is also the story of a journey Muslim women have taken over millennia. It is the story of Hajar (Hagar), the slave girl who gave birth to a son of Abraham and was abandoned in the desert with her child. It is the story of women who travel all the way to Mecca for a pretty basic right: to stand equal before God.
