I like the Islamic culture Idea, but I think it is to broad of a topic--Swalrus007 (talk) 00:11, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
Here are two articles that look like they would be helpful with our project

This Is an article I found through Google Scholar. It takes all about the Status of Women in Islam. I fell that there is a ton a great information in this article thread. http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2351--Swalrus007 (talk) 06:17, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
I found this article through ProQuest and I believe that it would be extremely helpful. It talks about the treatment of women during Muhammad's life and how it began to decline after his successors began to rule. http://0-proquest.umi.com.lilac.une.edu/pqdweb?index=29&did=912408831&SrchMode=2&sid=4&Fmt=6&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1321831445&clientId=8421 --Htulkoff (talk) 23:31, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
This may be helpful in the conclusion to say what the current status is http://www.springerlink.com/content/f16u17438jr46421/ Gender boundaries and sexual categories in the arabic world.--Kayla hope (talk) 02:59, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
The Proposal
Title: Status of Women in Early Islam
The purpose of this article is to explore the status of women in early Islam after Muhammad had received his prophecies from Gabriel. We will also talk about the treatment of his wives and how they were viewed within society. In addition to this we will also explore the overall perceptions of inferiority of women in Islam over time. In the body of this topic we will briefly discuss the prophecies of Muhammad and his relationship with his wives. In addition to this we will briefly explore how his wives were viewed in society. This will lead us into a discussion of women's inferiority in Islam. To expand on this topic we will incorporate the inferiority of women from societies perception of them and how the perceptions evolved. We will further discuss how both the Quran and Hadith mention and delineate women and their oppression. --Htulkoff (talk) 17:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Please feel free to edit the proposal above. I will be adding in all of our articles tomorrow and submitting this to Professor Denbow on Monday.
