ABSTRACT
Contemporary Nation women have circumvented the predicament by establishing their own publications and ensuring that they retain editorial control over the content of their magazines and literature. Explaining Elijah Muhammad's domestic life to rank-and-file members and the general public has proven problematic for Minister Louis Farrakhan and contemporary Nation women. Questions pertaining to Elijah Muhammad's domestic life account for much of the misconception surrounding women's status in the Nation of Islam (NOI). Ebony Muhammad's Hurt2Healing magazine is one of several publications owned and edited by a Nation woman. Former NOI member, Tina Muhammad created the Resurrected NOI's first magazine for women in the early 1990s. Hurt2Healing magazine stands apart from other Nation publications such as Righteous Living and Virtue Today in that it covertly deviates, at times, from Nation teachings.
