I met an inspiring woman today and i felt like I should share a little about her in feministing. Here is the introduction about Harvard Professor, Afsaneh Najmabadi in wikipedia:

She is professor of History and of Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Harvard University.[ 1] At present she chairs the Committee on Degrees in Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality.[ 2] She is further Associate Editor of Encyclopaedia of Women and Islamic Cultures , in six volumes
Among her books are:
