She has helped to increase awareness of the integral contribution of women to the spiritual path of Islam with her now classic anthology, Women of Sufism: A Hidden Treasure (Shambhala). Together with Kabir Helminski she has published some of the finest modern English translations of the poetry of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi. She is the first woman to render a significant portion of the Qur'an into English with the heart-opening The Light of Dawn: Daily Readings from the Holy Qur'an (Shambhala).
