| Description: |
This collection of essays attempts to explode the myths created by years of orientalist writings about Middle Eastern women. The romanticized images are contrasted with the demands of daily battles for survival and the long-running struggles for political and economic liberation. |
| Synopsis: |
This book offers both theoretical perspectives and detailed examples which provide the analytical frameworks chosen by the Middle Eastern women themselves to explain the strategies they have chosen for liberation. The studies deal with Islam and its impact on personal and public lives of women in the region as well as their political struggles for liberation both internally and internationally. |
