Book Description
for Women in the Middle East by Ramsay M. Harik and Elsa Marston
From the Publisher
Oppressed, veiled women living in a male-dominated society is the common stereotype of Middle Eastern women. In this revised and updated edition of Women in the Middle East: Tradition and Change, Ramsay Harik and Elsa Marston dispel those beliefs. Current information is presented on topics such as religion, veiling, political participation, women's health issues, and the women of Afghanistan.
