Riahi explores how the Kahf draws upon allusion to Islamic history and the Qur'an, invoking iconic figures such as Aisha, Khadija, Esther, Zuleika, and others, to offer a counter-narrative that challenges both Western feminist perspectives and entrenched patriarchal views. Through this dual approach, Kahf not only critiques the historical and cultural misconceptions imposed by the West but also affirms the rich, complex identities of Muslim women. The author's examination provides a fresh perspective on the intersection of postcolonial feminism, Islamic feminism, and literary innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHamida Riahi\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer at Northern Border University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 04, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45288124055596,"sku":"9781666969894","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/gwDC5lxdcS9781666969894.webp?v=1771116708","url":"https:\/\/littleredgeneralstore.com\/products\/a-study-of-intertextuality-in-mohja-kahfs-e-mails-from-scheherazad-the-odalisque-gazes-back-hardcover","provider":"Little Red General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
