The Tunisian Women's Rights Movement (eBook, ePUB)

From Nascent Activism to Influential Power-broking

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines Tunisian women's lived experiences, as individuals and as a group, within a socio-historical framework that uncovers the enduring feminine footprint over centuries and eventually underpins and defines their most recent fight for gender equality in post-revolutionary Tunisia. The historic and current presentation of the Tunisian women's public and civic engagement distinguishes between different types of women's objectives in order to examine women's activism holistically as it evolved in the local context. The Tunisian Women's Rights Movement will be of interest to students and scholars of Tunisia, North African and Middle East Studies and gender in the Arab world.
