<span><span>Conclusion: Islamic Feminism and Muslim Chivalry</span></span>
<span><span>Sophia Arjana’s meticulously researched book is a must read for anyone looking for a window into current realities of Muslim lived experiences and on-the-ground and symbolic practices of resistance against islamophobia and objectification. Self- and other-rescuing female Muslim superheroes reclaiming symbols, their bodies, and their faith are part of the real, complex, diverse lived experiences of struggle and grass roots Islamic social justice work of Muslimah around the world. Arjana makes accessible the public pedagogy of graphic novels, and presents us with the kind of anti-colonial, feminist, liberational partners of which we need legion in our times.</span></span>
<span><span>Sophia Rose Arjana is assistant professor of religion at Western Kentucky University.</span></span>
