The representation of women in Islamic religious traditions continues to face structural challenges shaped by dominant patriarchal interpretations. Gender hermeneutics emerges as a critical approach to reassess biased interpretive constructions and to provide more just and contextual understandings of sacred texts. This study aims to examine patriarchal bias in religious traditions, analyze the contribution of gender hermeneutics to new readings of scripture, and explain its impact on social transformation within contemporary Muslim communities. This qualitative research employs a literature-based approach, analyzing both classical and contemporary works of Muslim feminist scholars. The findings reveal that gender hermeneutics successfully amplifies marginalized women’s voices, challenges patriarchal interpretive authority, and contributes to meaningful social transformation toward gender equality. This study underscores the importance of strengthening critical hermeneutical approaches in Islamic studies to foster inclusive and humanistic interpretations
