"[...] Par le croisement, rarement pratiqué à ce jour, des sources écrites, des récits oraux et des traces matérielles de la mémoire, et par la finesse de ses analyses, l’ouvrage d’El-Hour et de Marín a assurément vocation à ouvrir de nouvelles pistes à l’interprétation et il faut espérer que cette étude en inspire d’autres et s’étende à d’autres régions du Maghreb, où la sainteté féminine reste encore largement sous-étudiée." - Nelly Amri, in: Archives de sciences sociales des religions [En ligne], Bulletin bibliographique, 204 (2023), mis en ligne le 02 février 2024, consulté le 07 juin 2024 [http://journals.openedition.org/assr/73531; DOI: doi.org/10.4000/assr.73531]
