title = "Abidah El Khalieqy{\textquoteright}s Struggles of Islamic Feminism Through Literary Writings",
abstract = "Diah Arimbi introduces a woman novelist and poet from Indonesia, Abidah El KhalIeqy, who was the first to speak out in her writing about abuses of women: child marriage, marital rape, domestic violence, in ways that challenged orthodox interpretations as they existed in her country. She addressed women{\textquoteright}s lack of awareness of their rights, be they to education, or of a reproductive nature, or sexual. Her writings caught women{\textquoteright}s attention and gave them confidence to address these issues publicly, thus addressing the discrimination and injustices that had thus far escaped serious opposition.",
