This dissertation defines and discusses Muslim female practitioners, otinchalar, in the Ferghana Valley (Uzbekistan), who through religious education and practice become the leaders of Muslim women.
The dissertation examines the ways in which religious
networks of local otinchalar, as emerging leaders have a potential to play important roles in regional social transformation. These female practitioners (1) provide Islamic and ceremonial education for local women, (2) create legitimate alternatives to mosques for female religious observance, (3) exert some social control in their local communities, and (4) transform existing social and religious practices.
