A memoir of the life and struggles of a young Muslim woman in the wake of 9/11, during the following 'war on terror,' and in an ongoing era of rampant Islamophobia.

Amani Al-Khatahtbeh is the founder and editor-in-chief of MuslimGirl.com, the number one Muslim women's blog in the United States.

Through her book Muslim Girl: A Coming of Age, Al-Khatahtbeh provides commentary on socio-political issues pertaining to Islam, feminism, and the state of the Arab world.

From the Islamophobia that she faced every day as a child, to reclaiming her Muslim identity through wearing a hijab, Al-Khatahtbeh shares a series of anecdotes that marked her development into the adult she is today.

Al-Khatahtbeh's perspective is at the intersection of many identities and provides a necessary counterpoint to the mainstream rhetoric of Muslim women being radicalized or oppressed.

In this book, Al-Khatahtbeh takes power over her own narrative through emotional stories that debunk the pervasive myth of the submissive and weak Muslim woman.
