by

Rachmah Ida

The most popular aspect of this change of programming is a range of religious soap operas, screened at peak times, often with religious women as their central characters. This book examines several of these soap operas in detail and seeks to discover in what way, if any, these programmes have affected the perceptions of Muslim women in society. 74 pages.
