Over the past 100-150 years, women from across Arab countries (from Syria in the North to Yemen in the South and Morocco in the West to Iraq in the East) have been struggling, together with sympathetic Arab men, to achieve greater gender equality. The accomplishments are not consistent across the Arab region and significant work remains to be done.

 

Mapping Arab Women's Movements is meant to provide a comprehensive overview of women's movements in Arab countries from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.While an abundance of good analyses are available on the history of the women's movements in a few Arab countries, little or no literature is
available on the developments in other parts of the Arab region. The goal of the volume is to chronicle and analyze the Arab women's movements (its successes as well as its setbacks), thus bringing together a selection of papers that allow an impression of both differences and similarities between the Arab countries.
