Ustadha Maryam Amir gives spiritual insights about re-imagining womanhood when the prevailing thought might be women are exact equals to men in every way and deserve everything that a man has. They should never settle for anything less, even if that means fighting and protesting everyone that gets in their way and rebelling against the status quo.

Ustadha Maryam speaks at a women's retreat about re-imagining womanhood as a Muslim woman. Watch the complete seminar at http://mcceastbay.org/reimagine
