DRAFT of The Caged Virgin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Caged_Virgin

1) The book was fragmented with bits of autobiography, a motivational letter, and advice to break the shackles of discrimination. Was considered to be an attention getting tactic because Hirsi Ali was a political candidate.Reviewers believed there was no evidence to her statements and was most generalized and exaggerated. (http://muse.jhu.edu.gate.lib.buffalo.edu/article/438189/pdf)

2) Muslim women, for the most part have no right of self determination, which includes their virginity. The caged virgin emphasizes not on one, but two cages; one where their day to day activities are monitored and restricted, and the cage of religious beliefs. (http://muse.jhu.edu.gate.lib.buffalo.edu/article/439776/pdf)

3) Hirsi Ali does not believe that Islam can be transformed/reformed, and also fails to realize that the religion has been hard wired into the society and it is not easy to change it over a short span of time http://www.jstor.org.gate.lib.buffalo.edu/stable/pdf/4024649.pdf

4) With time, Muslim women are slowly making progress in all spheres of life, something which Hirsi Ali is oblivious to. (go.galegroup.com.gate.lib.buffalo.edu/ps/i.do?p=GVRL&sw=w&u=sunybuff_main&v=2.1&id=GALE%7CCX2727401411&it=r&asid=c1d3da8783894bc13cc40f0423959e23.)

5) Koranic injunctions/verses were instrumental in improving the status of women in Arabian societies, which showed that despite being known for discrimination against women, members of the Muslim world were trying to make reforms.
