Egyptian Women in a Changing Society, 1899-1987
(Arab women, like the countries to which they belong, have...)
Arab women, like the countries to which they belong, have been little understood by researchers, who, until recently, have tended to treat women in the region as if they were one cohesive whole, homogeneous in all their needs and resources. In fact, there are many commonalities: Islam, the Arabic language, customs, traditions, and geographic proximity, the Qoran, and Sharia Law. This book has three parts: first, an analysis of women's roles at the end of the nineteenth century, second, a look at the five phases of the Egyptian feminist movement, and finally the conclusion.

Yesterday is Gone Forever
(In Egypt, a young woman is coming of age. A graduate of t...)
In Egypt, a young woman is coming of age. A graduate of the American University of Cairo, Mona Fahmy is wealthy, beautiful, and intelligent. She is also living in a conservative culture during the tumultuous era of Anwar Sadat. Her parents are progressive but still adhere to the despised tradition of arranged marriage. In a solitary cell, a political prisoner is praying for guidance from the Prophet Mohammed. A child of poverty and prejudice, Khaled Nour El Din envisions an Egypt cleansed, by blood if necessary, of all foreigners and infidels. What turns a compassionate charismatic leader into a ruthless terrorist? And what would attract a woman from the upper class to join his holy crusade? From the shadows of the pyramids to the back alleys of unrest, this story illuminates Egypt's determination to reconcile its glorious past with an uncertain political future.
