--LATE BREAKING ADDITION!--
Poet and historian Tamam Kahn, one of the foremost authorities on the wives of Prophet Muhammad, joins us today to speak about her book, Untold: A History of the Wives of Prophet Muhammad (Monkfish), which demystifies the most influential women present at the dawn of Islam. The women include a merchant, the leader of an army, two Jewish war captives and a Coptic Christian diplomat. "In a sustained act of spirited research and imagination, Tamam Kahn brings Muhammad's wives and daughters out of the shadows and into the light. The women of Untold have at last found their perfect teller, in voices so gemlike and clear that one wants to chant them aloud." -Lesley Hazleton, author of After the Prophet.
