This volume presents a pioneering collection of analyses focused on the ideologies and activities of formal women’s organizations and informal women’s groups across a range of Arab countries. With contributions on Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Egypt, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, and the Arab diaspora in the United States, Mapping Arab Women’s Movements delineates similarities and differences between historical and contemporary efforts towards greater gender justice. The authors explore the origins of women’s movements, trace their development during the past century, and address the impact of counter-movements, alliances, and international collaborations within the region and beyond.
