“…First, Roberts (2004, 2011) provided an integration of objectification and terror management theory (e.g., Greenberg, Pyszczynski, & Solomon, 1986) to yield an existential explanation. Dinnerstein (1976) posited that the perennial impetus behind men's subordination of women across cultures and history is the threat that women's bodies engender, for women can give life and, by association, also death. In controlling women's bodies, men can in effect control mortality itself.…”

“…Parenting, while multigendered, starts with birth and with women, or at least with the womb, and the work of parenting is a critical space for feminist theorizing and has been for as long as feminism has existed (Chodorow, 1978;Dinnerstein, 1999;Wollstonecroft, 1792).

Depictions of Muslims as violent and misogynistic in the media require a theoretical and concrete response from Muslims, particularly Muslim women. The tradition of liberation psychology (LP) contains a framework for theorizing alternatives to hegemonic narratives in the foundational concepts of deideologizing reality and utilizing the virtues of the people. Islamic feminist LP, a rapidly expanding field of liberation theory, has a particular interest in these concepts. This article contributes to the building of Islamic feminist LP by exploring peacebuilding in the work of three women in the San Francisco Bay Area community as key informants. These women's experiences in community organizing around parenting and restorative justice show how Muslim women are transforming society through peacebuilding. Public Significance StatementThis article contributes new ideas to the growing field of Islamic liberation psychology. Additionally, the use of case studies to present evidence contributes to the possibilities of research outside of the academy. The conclusion that Muslim women are working toward peace in their day-to-day lives through restorative justice and parenting elevates the voices of Muslim women as they are, separate from media representations.

“…To understand the contextual nature of essentialism, we must also recognize the sociopolitical element. Psychoanalytic feminist scholars such as Benjamin (1980Benjamin ( , 1988, Chodorow (1978Chodorow ( , 1989, and Dinnerstein (1976) offered new perspectives on gender identity development, parenting, and partnering during a time when traditional sex roles were being questioned. Each drew attention to how essentialism could be used as a tool for gender inequities and support limiting stereotypes that potentially cause psychological strain for both women and men.…”
