Focusing on the experiences of Somali refugee women, the book challenges prevailing debates surrounding the accommodation of Islam and its impact on women's rights in Western societies. It critiques discussions on issues like the headscarf and religious arbitration by emphasizing the complexities of women's lives, arguing against a simplistic view of cultural and religious accommodations as inherently harmful. Instead, it advocates for recognizing these women as active participants in democratic processes, enriching the dialogue on gender and cultural identity.
