- Description
- This paper provides a critical discussion of gender in the Middle East, followed by an analysis of similarities and differences between women's movements in the region. In case studies, the Egyptian and Turkish women's movement's are analysed in terms of their historical development and current political context, their constituent parts, goals and strategies. The paper concludes with a comparison of the two cases in greater detail, and relates emerging issues to more general debates about women's movements in the region.

- Description
- This book presents a dialogue between Western and Middle Eastern women that is often presumed never to have happened. Not only were women from the Middle East imagined to be shut up in a harem all day without access to education, ideas or the outside world, but the extent to which Western women travellers were able to engage with women in the regions they visited has often been overlooked. This collection provides extracts from Ottoman, Egyptian and British and American writers – each with a biographical and literary introduction – that trace the development of an intellectual, personal and critical dialogue between women over a period of accelerated social change marked by Arab nationalism and Egypt’s move to independence, and the establishment of the Turkish Republic at the end of the Ottoman Empire.

- Description
- Most research has accepted stereotypical images of Muslim women, treating their outward manifestations, such as veiling, as passive and oppressive. By approaching widely used sources with different questions and methodologies, this book redresses these deficiencies. Contributors revisit and reevaluate scripture and scriptural interpretation: church records involving non-Muslim women of the Arab world: archival court records dating from the present back to the Ottoman period: and the oral and material culture and its written record, including oral history, textbooks, sufi practices, art and architecture and the politics of dress. Contains: History then, history now: the role of medieval Islamic religio-political sources in shaping the modern debate on gender : The Qur'an and history: Muslim women: public authority, scriptures, and 'Islamic Law': Gendered sources in ethnohistorical research: the study of emigration from an Lebanese village: Individualism and political modernity: devout Catholic women in Aleppo and Lebanon between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries: Women, patronage, and charity in Ottomon Istanbul: Consciousness of self: the Muslim woman as creator and manager of Waqf foundations in late Ottomon Damascus: Sources for the study of slave women and concubines in Ottoman Egypt: Thoughts on women and slavery in the Ottoman era and historical sources: Observations on the use of Shari'a court records as a source of social history: Mahkama records as a source for women's history: 'And God knows best': the Fatwa as a source for the history of gender in the Arab world: Gender violence in Kanunnames and Fetvas of the sixteenth century: Mixed and other courts: women and modern patriarchy: Islamic personal law in American courts: Learning gendered modernity: the home, the family, and the schoolroom in th construction of Egyptian national identity (1885-1919): The use of textbooks as a source of history for women: the case of turn-of-the-century Egypt: Sources on the education of Ottoman women in the Prime Ministerial Ottoman Archive for the period of reforms in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: The history of the discourses on gender and islamism in contemporary Egypt (1908-1990): Female patronage of Mamluk architecture in Cairo: Islamic art as a source for the study of women in premodern societies: Discerning the Hand-of-Fatima: an iconological investigation of the role of gender in religious art: Oral traditions as a source for the study of Muslim women: women in the Sufi Orders: Political science without clothes: the politics of dress, or, contesting the spatiality of the state in Egypt.
