This chapter explores the thought of Asma Lamrabet (b. 1960), one of the most representative contemporary figures of the field of Islamic feminism, both in Morocco and globally. On the basis of numerous conversations and interviews carried out in Morocco with Asma Lamrabet between 2008 and 2018, as well as the study of documental sources, the chapter firstly analyses four phases of the biographical, intellectual, and public trajectory of the author, and secondly her methods and the main contents of her work. Beyond the significancy of the official religious function she served in her country for ten years, Lamrabet’s discourse potential resides in the relevant role she has had and still could have in bridging modernist and traditionalist thinking of religion and society, by promoting gender equality within the Islamic paradigm in Morocco, in Muslim-majority countries, and among the Islamic diaspora.

Abstract
This chapter explores the thought of Asma Lamrabet (b. 1960), one of the most representative contemporary figures of the field of Islamic feminism, both in Morocco and globally. On the basis of numerous conversations and interviews carried out in Morocco with Asma Lamrabet between 2008 and 2018, as well as the study of documental sources, the chapter firstly analyses four phases of the biographical, intellectual, and public trajectory of the author, and secondly her methods and the main contents of her work. Beyond the significancy of the official religious function she served in her country for ten years, Lamrabet’s discourse potential resides in the relevant role she has had and still could have in bridging modernist and traditionalist thinking of religion and society, by promoting gender equality within the Islamic paradigm in Morocco, in Muslim-majority countries, and among the Islamic diaspora.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
