Resumen:	This chapter explores constructions of gender identities and gender distinctions re- flected in medieval Islamic preaching and ancillary prosopographic literature on male and female preachers. The goal of this research was to ascertain what the study of Islamic preaching and homiletic sources adds to our knowledge regarding the status of women, the sanctification of patriarchy, female piety, ideals of masculinity and femininity, and gender relations. Two kinds of investigations were conducted: (1), the search for and analysis of prosopographic data concerning female preachers and (2), a brief thematic, rhetorical, and gender analysis of two hortatory sermons on women, possibly addressed to all female or mixed audiences. The chapter ends by suggesting areas of future research on gender and medieval Islamic preaching.
