Abstract	:	This research investigates the ways in which the gendered Islamic identities of young American Muslim women are constructed in the United States. In particular, it focuses on the influence that institutions of socialization, including family, Islamic school, and mosque, have on the process of identity construction. Participants of the study included 15 Muslim graduates of an Islamic school in the mid-Atlantic region. Two phenomenological interviews were conducted with each adolescent to understand her life history and the role that institutional actors have played in shaping her gendered religious attitudes and behaviors. Data were analyzed using critical discourse and content analysis to uncover patterns of conformation and deviation in the performance of gendered religious norms.
