How has the global discourse on women's rights affected gender equality in a Muslim majority country, where "an Islamic religious heritage is (regarded as) one of the most powerful barriers to the rising tide of gender equality" (Inglehart and Norris 2003, 49)? Muslim women's activism in Indonesia offers a useful lens to examine how discourses on Islam and women's rights are adapted and combined to shape normative attitudes and policies related to gender equality.
