Book Summary
"Finally, we get to meet the first women of Islam. Thank you for this brave book."--Coleman Barks "Brilliant and illuminating . . . awesome in the depth of its research, the grace of its prose, and the beauty of its poetic voices."--Alicia Ostriker "Untold" demystifies the most influential women at the dawn of Islam: Muhammad's wives. They are presented in all their variety, among them a successful merchant, the leader of an army, two Jewish war captives, and a Coptic Christian diplomat.
