Reviews
"Most accounts of modern Egyptian history focus on and are written by men. This one is different--and welcome. It traces the development of Egyptian nationalist sentiment by concentrating on the emergence of Egyptian feminism, [from] the rise of 'feminist consciousness' [to] the creation of explicitly political feminist organizations."--Foreign Affairs "Badran ... challenge[s] the notion that feminism is only a Western creation and that it is incompatible with Islam... This new study will be respected for its high level of scholarship and its sophisticated analysis."--Choice
