About The Book: Our Moslem Sisters: A Cry of Need from Lands of Darkness Interpreted by Those Who Heard It (1907), edited by Annie Van Sommer and Samuel M. Zwemer, is a poignant compilation of firsthand accounts detailing the lives of Muslim women in the early 20th century. Contributed primarily by female missionaries, with a few exceptions, the book sheds light on the severe oppression, isolation, and hardships faced by these women across various regions, including Egypt, Morocco, Arabia, and India. The narratives highlight issues such as forced marriages, illiteracy, and the pervasive purdah system. The authors present these accounts not merely as observations but as urgent calls to action for Christian women to engage in missionary work and uplift their Muslim sisters through education and spiritual guidance. The book serves as both an indictment of the societal structures that perpetuate such conditions and an appeal for compassion and intervention.
