Although her initial responsibilities were ethnological, she became a guest of the local sheikh and later of her interpreter\u2019s family. As a result, the doors of many Kurdish homes were opened to her that normally would have remained closed to foreigners. She traveled widely among the mountain villages of Iraqi Kurdistan and was able to see up close the everyday life of women. First published in 1958 and translated in 1960, this book contains the intimate account of Hansen\u2019s encounters with Kurdish women.\u00a0<\/p><p>We discussed Orientalism in the book and speculated about reasons for the author\u2019s positive valuation of gender segregation.<\/p><p>The 2018 edition of <em>Daughters of Allah<\/em> is available for purchase from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/Daughters-of-Allah-Among-Moslem-Women-in-Kurdistan\/Hansen\/p\/book\/9781138212800\">Routledge<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Daughters of Allah&#8221; by H.
