Aziza Shanazarova (2019 IU Ph.D.) just published a book with Cambridge University Press titled “Female Religiosity in Central Asia.” Through revealing the fascinating story of the Sufi master Aghā-yi Buzurg and her path to becoming the 'Great Lady' in sixteenth-century Bukhara, Shanazarova invites readers into the little-known world of female religious authority in early modern Islamic Central Asia, revealing a far more multifaceted gender history than previously supposed. Shanazarova is an assistant professor at Columbia University.
