FROM EARLY PIONEERS TO MODERN-DAY REVOLUTIONARIES: THE RESILIENCE AND CENTRALITY OF FEMINISTS IN THE PALESTINIAN LIBERATION MOVEMENT
FROM EARLY PIONEERS TO MODERN-DAY REVOLUTIONARIES: THE RESILIENCE AND CENTRALITY OF FEMINISTS IN THE PALESTINIAN LIBERATION MOVEMENT
Women have been central to every phase of Palestinian resistance. Here Nada Elia recovers the long-suppressed story of Palestinian women’s organizing from 1929 to the present. Far from being a Western import, local feminism consistently linked personal empowerment with collective liberation, anticolonial struggle with social transformation. In the time of the Mandate, Matiel Mogannam confronted British imperialism through the Arab Women’s Congress. In the following decades, Camille Odeh built Arab American solidarity networks. Their legacy continues today in the work of contemporary activists fighting femicide and pinkwashing throughout the world.
Falastiniyyat rescues Palestinian feminism from obscurity. Furthermore, Elia argues that these activists were pioneers of a uniquely intersectional, antiimperial feminist politics.
