| Description: |
This text claims that newly veiled women in the Middle East are as much symbols of modernity as the women who took off the veil at the turn of the 20th century. They challenge the assumption that women's domesticity is associated to tradition, and entry into the public sphere with modernity. |
| Synopsis: |
This text claims that newly veiled women across the Middle East are just as much products and symbols of modernity as the upper- and middle-class women who took off the veil at the turn of the 20th century. The essays focus on the "woman question", mainly in Egypt and Iran, in the early 20th century, when gender became a highly charged nationalist issue. They challenge the assumptions of feminism in the Middle East, by questioning the familiar dichotomy in which women's domesticity is associatied with tradition, and modernity with their entry into the public sphere. |
