While women's concerns in Malaysia were subsumed under nationalist concerns during British colonialism, the 1980s signaled a turning point in the articulation of women's issues. Women could discuss topics in relation to their everyday experiences such as domestic violence. That same period also witnessed the phenomenon of Islamization, where some segments of the Muslim population called for a greater visibility of Islam in Malaysian society. This call meant championing certain orientations of Islam, ranging from those that uncritically adhered to Islamic tradition to those that espoused ideals of progress and reform. Integral to Islamization was an emphasis on the role of women as wives and mothers so as to maintain the integrity of the patriarchal family. The domestic household and marital issues naturally became key concerns in Islamization discourse. Female Muslim (Muslimah) NGOs emerged during this period, responding both to state and everyday discourses on Islam in Malaysian society. One principal response of the NGOs was to go back to Islamic and alternative sources of knowledge. These responses were also informed by particular orientations towards Islam such as neo-traditionalism and neo-modernism. The literature on female Muslim activism in Malaysia has largely looked at how Muslim women in Malaysia have sought to make sense of their own faith within traditionally male spaces. The literature has also looked at how activists adopt two main approaches, gender equality and gender equity, when fighting for gender justice. Utilizing Mannheim's sociology of knowledge approach, this thesis hopes to add to the literature on gender activist discourse in Malaysia by focusing on the religious orientations of the activists. These orientations are important to study as they determine how the activists discuss women's issues and the influence these discussions could have on the Malaysian public. Using in-depth interviews with 14 activists, I will be studying their religious orientations as modes of thinking that are illustrated in their (1) Attitudes towards different sources of knowledge; (2) Approaches to specific marital issues; (3) Perceptions of a woman's role in Islam. This thesis argues that Muslimah activists in Malaysia generally adopt a neo-modernist mode of thinking when discussing various sources of knowledge and specific marital issues but demonstrate a diversity in modes of thinking where they can interchangeably pick and choose positions that correspond to either neotraditionalism or neo-modernism when explaining a woman's role in Islam.
