I’m excited to see this and will think about what to put together isA. As a Muslim physician (psychiatrist) and mother with young kids and working in healthcare leadership, one of the disempowering perspectives I’ve seen is distorting Muslim women’s pursuit of higher education or continuing in their careers after motherhood as “liberal feminism” or somehow against the Islamic ethos.

This is a very misguided misconception. Many women scholars even today have both deep Islamic knowledge AND careers (think Dr. Rania Awaad, Dr. Haifaa Younis). I think it’s a shame when we limit the options a woman has and use religion to justify it.
