Author: Annie Van Sommer, Samuel Marinus Zwemer
"This is indeed a 'cry of need' and one of the saddest cries that ever rang out over the world. The condition of woman under Mohammedanism is its deepest condemnation. Such chapter titles as 'Behind the Opening Door in Tunis,' 'Light in Darkest Morocco,' 'Mohammedan Women in Central Soudan,' and 'Behind the Lattice in Turkey,' are suggestive of the conditions and scenes described in this book. It is a vivid portrayal and should move us to greater earnestness and speed in sending the gospel to lands of Mohammedan darkness." -Presbyterian Banner
"One verse in the Koran, in which women are forbidden to appear unveiled before any man except certain relatives, is responsible for a condition which 'lies at the root of all the most important features that differentiate progress from stagnation.' In this book...is collected a mass of testimony and undoubted facts that merely lift the edge of the sad truth as to the lives of women in Mohammedan communities....One point made in this book is not perfectly recognized even by those of us who read about the Moslems. The universality and ease of divorce, the absolute freedom of the husband, and the utter helplessness of the wife, are revelations to many. A mere sentence, repeated three times, is irrevocable, and the wife is cast out to a life of sorrow, shame, and poverty very often." -The Outlook
"The sorrow and pathos of the life for Moslem womanhood are so vividly presented that it would be scarcely a true statement to say that one enjoys reading the book. One is made rather to share with the writers in their pity for 'our Moslem sisters....' It is safe to say that the picture is a true one. There is no exaggeration. Whether in Egypt or elsewhere, we find the Moslem woman's life blighted by ignorance, degraded by superstition, tortured by jealousy, and wronged by the awful divorce system which characterize Mohammedan life. The book is one greatly needed to arouse the Christian world of today, for I know of no other book which even attempts to present the picture which is so successfully presented in 'Our Moslem Sisters.'" -Charles R. Watson, Intercollegian
"The great struggle of the future, they say, will be between Christ and Muhammad....For those Christians who think that Muhammadanism may serve as, at least, a half-way house towards Christianity, we recommend the reading of 'Our Moslem Sisters.' There is nothing revolting. There is nothing sensational in the book. It is a description of the daily life of Muhammadan women....It was an infidel who declared that Christianity must be judged by its treatment of women. Let the challenge be accepted; let Christianity and Muhammadanism both be judged by their treatment of women." -The Expository Times
