Evidence

Meanwhile, although the woman was born in the United States, her identity challenges what the general public purports to “know” about Islam and Muslim women; she is of Puerto Rican descent. Thus we learn that Muslims can be of any background and that not all Muslim women are oppressed or confined to the home. Although she is married and a mom and has many home and family responsibilities, she still pursues a master’s degree.
