ABSTRACT

F o r m e r l y the frame of a Moslem woman’s life was her home. Her contacts were limited to her family and its many ramifications. Her thought life was family centred. But within the last decade the radii of her interests have been lengthening so that to-day the periphery of her life has been extended beyond the quiet protected environment of the past into the rush and confusion of the modern world. The circle of her life is widening as the circle widens when a pebble is thrown into a still pool. Her world is no longer bounded by the four walls of her home, but by the wider area of civic and national interests and even international relationships.
