520    "This pioneering ethnographic work centers on the dynamics
       of female authority within the religious life of a 
       conservative Muslim community in the Fergana Valley of 
       Uzbekistan. Peshkova draws upon several years of field 
       research to chronicle the daily lives of women religious 
       leaders, known as otinchalar, and the ways in which they 
       exert a powerful influence in the religious life of the 
       community. In this gender-segregated society, the Muslim 
       women leaders have staked out a vibrant space in which 
       they counsel and assist the women in their specific 
       religious needs. Peshkova finds that otinchalar's 
       religious leadership filters into other areas of society, 
       producing social changes beyond the ritual realm and 
       challenging stereotypical definitions of what it means to 
       be a Muslim woman. Weaving together the stories of 
       individuals' daily lives with her own journey to and from 
       post-Soviet Central Asia, Peshkova provides a rich 
       analysis of identity formation in Uzbekistan. She presents
       readers with a nuanced portrait of religion and social 
       change that starts with an individual informed but not 
       determined by the sociohistoric context of the region."--
