«Las sultanas olvidadas» is the historical essay by Fatema Mernissi, published by Quinteto in paperback (329 pages, in Spanish).
Fatema Mernissi recovers the memory of fifteen women who ruled in Islam over fifteen centuries, from al-Andalus to Indonesia. They minted coinage and were named in the Friday prayer; some were murdered, others used Machiavellian methods, and a few became pirates after losing their territories.
It is part of the Quinteto Bolsillo collection (no. 130), and its author received the Prince of Asturias Award for Letters in 2003.
For readers interested in the history of Islam, gender studies, and historical essays with a feminist perspective.
Fatema Mernissi was a Moroccan feminist writer and sociologist.
