Muslim Feminist Collective Action Online: Faith, Power, and Digital Resistance examines how self-identified Muslim feminists use digital spaces to organise, resist, and construct shared forms of identity and activism.

Drawing on feminist theory, sociology, philosophy, and digital culture studies, the book analyses how blogs and social media facilitate community-building and activism while confronting both Islamophobic discourse and patriarchal power. It addresses four central themes: challenges to patriarchal authority through shared feminist frameworks; strategies for contesting restrictive interpretations within Islamic discourse; debates over the control and representation of women’s bodies; and the practice of intersectional feminism across online networks, highlighting how dialogue, solidarity, and informal learning underpin collective resistance.

This book is ideal for students and researchers in gender and feminist studies, sociology, religious studies, and media or digital culture, particularly those interested in social movements and intersectionality.
