Saba Mahmood’s Critique of Secularism’s Understanding of Gender and Religious Piety

Focus should be on how Saba Mahmood critiques secularism’s understanding of gender and religious piety, particularly in Islamic contexts. Should be looking at the way Mahmood challenges the assumption that secular frameworks automatically support women’s autonomy and freedom and argues that certain expressions of Islamic piety, which may seem restrictive from a secular-liberal perspective, can actually be sources of empowerment and agency for the women who practice them. I want to explore how these practices complicate the secular notion of freedom and autonomy, especially in relation to gender.
