摘要
This article examines a number of non-Muslim female characters from the Arabian Nights and other works from mediaeval Arabic folk literature. It explores why they are perceived as being heroic figures, worthy of the audience's admiration, despite acting in ways that seem opposed to Muslim legal teachings and cultural norms.
