“In Pakistan, myriad constituencies are grappling with reinterpreting women’s rights. This book analyzes the Government of Pakistan’s construction of an understanding of what constitutes women’s rights, moves on to address traditional views and contemporary popular opinion on women’s rights, and then focuses on three very different groups’ perceptions of women’s rights…Weiss analyzes the resultant ‘culture wars’ that are visibly ripping the country apart, as groups talk past one another—each confidant that they are the proprietors of culture and interpreters of religion while others are misrepresenting it.”
