N1  - Includes bibliographical references (pages 244-253) and index; Working the propaganda spindle -- Family ties : women and genealogy in Fatimid dynastic history -- Inside the palace walls : life at court -- Battleaxes and formidable aunties -- Women of substance at the Fatimid courts -- Outside the palace walls : daily life
N2  - Throws light on the silent and shadowy figures of women under the Fatimids. The contribution of these women is explored first within the context of Isma'ili and Fatimid genealogical history, and then within the courts in their roles as mothers, courtesans, wives and daughters, and as workers and servants
