Abstract
Guimond thoroughly outlines and explores the intersectionality of multiple minority statuses within the demographic of Caucasian female Americans who have converted to Islam since September 11, 2001. In this chapter, the basic tenets of Islam are discussed alongside the role of women in Islam, as well as an analysis of how religious conversion (or reversion) is experienced by Muslims. Stereotypes about Muslims, the intersection of feminism and Islam, the role of women in Islam, and the reasons that women convert are outlined and quickly challenged throughout this chapter. This chapter concludes with a discussion of how conflict is experienced in those who choose religious conversion.
