summary:
  Zubair and Zubair (2017) argue through personal narratives of their research participants (Muslim women educated in English literature in Pakistan) that multiple positionalities and identities, like the one seen in Nisa, enable women to negotiate in the third space by being resistive to the local religioculturally defined patriarchal structures and the western concepts of women's autonomy. Through semi‐structured interviews, making an in‐depth comparative study of three differently situated cases (Muslim women), this study argues that the abnormal situation that has ensued from the pandemic has reinforced the vulnerability of women's nascent negotiated identity by landing them in a space where they are supposed by the normative structures to step back to carrying out their traditional responsibilities as ‘good’ wife and mother during the crisis.
