The Qur'an has much to say both ABOUT women, and TO women. One Surah is called `Women', another is named after Maryam the mother of Jesus (pbuh). Women appear in many other parts. In stories of the prophets we have- Hawwa (Eve) the wife of Adam, no longer the temptress who leads Adam to sin but a partner jointly responsible with him and jointly forgiven by Allah soon afterwards.
- There is the wife of Nuh (Noah) (pbuh) who betrays her husband and is held up along with the wife of Lot as an example of a disbeliever (66:10-11).
- There is the wife of Ibrahim, who laughs at the news the angel brings, of the baby she is to have in her old age;
- the wife of Pharaoh, who saves the infant Musa (Moses) (pbuh) and, along with Maryam, mother of Jesus, is one of the two female examples of the good believer held up in Surah 66:10 & 11.

This is unacceptable by all standards. Humanitarin to be first. It is clear who and what is to blame here. The Men who treated women poorly and the culture that permits it.

A woman Military General. A woman Justice of the supreme court. A woman Governor of the State Bank. A Woman Speaker of the National Assembly. I am optimistc about the situation for women.
However, it makes me sad when bad pratices by illiterate idiots are linked with religion
