Representation of women in the media has long been a contentious issue.

Women are often misrepresented and stereotyped, frequently portrayed as permissive and submissive to orthodox traditions and patriarchal cultures.

In the context of global integration, debates on media representation of Islam and Muslim women have highlighted a tendency to homogenise Muslim identities and emphasise its perceived misalignment with Western values.

This book informs the visual representation of women in Muslim media, offering insights into how they are mediated and interpreted, revealing the cultural diversity within the Muslim world.

The distinctive visual styles created by image producers in the forms of graphic illustrations and photographs, along with counter-depictions of Muslim women in various roles, contribute to a redefinition of Muslim female individualities in private and public spheres.

This invites us to recognise the heterogeneous identities of Muslim women, which align with the broader concept of diversity and inclusivity.

Overall, it aims to make a significant contribution to the understanding of media representation by providing empirical evidence of how Islamic visual representations can creatively and positively portray women, thereby promoting uplifting and empowering images.

The book is a must for anyone interested in women, visual communication, the media and the arts.
