Books I Highly Recommend on Gender/Islam

To my non-Muslim readers, sorry that this list revolves around Muslims/Islam only! It's just, since the last couple of years, I've been seeking Muslims who saw what I saw in the traditional interpretations of Islam and having found the following has been a blessing! And had it not been for a research mentor who suggested I compile an annotated bibliography of "feminist and progressive interpretations of Islam," this would never have happened -- at least not yet. So please bear with me as I complete the list for now!
However, there are a couple of books that might be of interest to those not interested in topics in gender/sexuality/Islam/progressive Islam, etc. Examples include "The Islamist" (it's basically an ex-"Talib" guy who wrote on his experiences as a "Talib" and why he had to leave such a lifestyle) and The Gift of Fear (it's full of tips for protection from violence, how to detect an abusive partner, what to do when, etc., etc.)
