Commonly non-Muslims writing on Islam either attack Islam and denigrate its followers, or become apologists over repressive aspects of some Muslim communities. Geraldine Brooks' Nine Parts of Desire, The Hidden World of Islamic Women at times does both of these things. But it is in the book's critical yet respectful look at Islam that the reader finds subjects for serious discussion and a measure of understanding in the depiction of Islam. "It becomes insufficient to look at Islam on paper, or Islam in history, and dwell on the unarguable improvements it brought to women's lives in the seventh century," Brooks writes. "Today, the much more urgent and relevant task is to examine the way the faith has proved such fertile ground for almost every anti-woman custom it encountered in its great march out of Arabia." She maintains that Islam adopted the royal Persian custom of veils, accepted gender mutilation from Egypt, "and when it found societies in which women had never had a voice in public affairs, its own traditions of lively women's participation withered." The book is not overburdened with Western judgements far removed from its subject matter, but is rather an empathetic attempt to understand the culture behind the veils.
