More about the book
The book explores the rise of Egyptian feminism, highlighting its crucial yet overlooked role in modern Egyptian history. Through diverse sources like memoirs, essays, and oral histories, it reveals how women challenged and transformed traditional patriarchal structures. It counters the notion that feminism is solely a Western concept, showing how the Egyptian feminist movement of the early 20th century supported nationalist goals while navigating Islamic frameworks. This work sheds light on the complexities of feminism in a non-Western context.
