Misconceptions About Women In Islam Throughout history, women universally have been thought to be fighting a constant battle for equal status and rights as men. Particularly in ancient societies, women were degraded to being almost subhuman, without many rights, and perceived as property belonging to their closest of kin males. Women as a whole, to a certain extent, have since struggled to overcome such conflicts of sex discrimination and are now much closer to achieving their goals for equality than before. However, a new struggle has emerged for those women who view their lifestyles as being liberating, while most others see them as being oppressed. In recent times, only one identity comes to mind when speaking of oppression and women, and that is the stereotypical Muslim Woman. Female Muslims have been an absolute symbol of suppression in the world, and distorted images and thoughts of them permeate throughout western societies. These societies believe that Muslim women must be saved from a religion that denigrates, objectifies, and veils them. Without much research to their claims, such western societies condemn the religion of Islam for the treatment of women in most Middle Eastern and Asian countries.
