Women and Islam: Resources from GMU

George Mason University's Center for History and News Media has some great resources on the role of women in Islam.

Two lessons include suras (chapters) from the Qur’an that deal with women. One "details a variety of legal rights and restrictions for Muslims in the realm of marriage, inheritance, and other male-female relationships" and  the other "is known for its many verses extolling modesty in women, as well as detailing aspects of ideal marriage."

You can also download the suras as a pdf along with questions about the documents.
