Engendering Citizenship in Egypt

By Selma Botman

Book Overview

This is an examination of the concept of citizenship in Egypt, identifying the forces that have institutionally controlled women since the turn of the 20th century. The book examines how, and by whom this citizenship is defined, and seeks to understand how political culture in Egypt has developed, how women have asserted themselves in public life and how they have been limited and sometimes excluded from the political process.
