Asma Lamrabet, a third way feminist and author, was born in Rabat, Morocco, where she currently lives today. She studied medicine and trained as a doctor, which eventually brought her to Spain and parts of Latin America where she lived and worked as a volunteer doctor for years. While abroad, she came into contact with Liberation Theology, which she used to examine her own religion from a social justice point of view. After returning to Morocco, she began organizing meetings for Muslim Women to research and reflect upon Islam and their role within the religion. She also began work at the International Group of Studies and Reflections on Women and Islam, whose mission is to create a new female consciousness. She identifies as a third way feminist, a theory followers by many Moroccan feminists, and which seeks to revise sacred Islamic texts to show women as being independent beings rather than relational to men. The third way is considered to be a humanistic approach to Islamic Feminism looking at the basic set of human values across borders and cultures. From 2011 to 2018, she served as the Director of the Center for Women’s Studies in Islam and has written 5 books in her native French, which have been translated to English among other languages. One of her books, Women in the Quran: An Emancipatory Reading, serves as the inspiration for this project to highlight important Muslim women around the world.
