This presentation is based on a recently published article that explores the Central Asian adaptation of the ʿAqāʾid al-nisāʾ, preserved as a unique manuscript within the collections at the Beruni Institute of Oriental Studies in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Beyond unveiling the little-known realm of rituals and customs among women in early modern Central Asian societies, this adaptation plays a crucial role in balancing the androcentric perspective on the gendered history of the early modern Persianate world. Simultaneously, it challenges preconceived notions surrounding women's agency and authority in pre-modern Muslim societies.
