Description
The 2011 uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East saw women and girls challenge traditional gender norms in bold and unexpected ways. Through a series of case studies, this book examines how women activists used their bodies, spaces, and identities to shape the course of these historic events. Contributors explore topics such as blogs written by young women in Egypt, the Women2Drive campaign in Saudi Arabia, and the reintegration of women into public life in Yemen. They reveal how women's activism was not just about challenging laws or institutions, but also about creating new spaces for self-expression and community-building. By examining the intersections between body, gender, sexuality, and space, this book sheds light on the complex and often contradictory ways in which women navigated and transformed their environments during these pivotal moments.
