Focusing on the agency of young Muslim women, the book explores how members of Nasyiatul Aisyiyah have organized since 1931 to advocate for gender interests. It challenges stereotypes of Muslim women as submissive by showcasing their empowerment strategies rooted in Qur'anic texts and Indonesian traditions. Through original primary data, it reveals their experiences, dreams, and achievements, contributing valuable insights into gender discourse in a predominantly Muslim democracy, appealing to scholars and general readers alike.
