A veiled revolution

Discusses the modern Egyptian Muslim woman's decision of whether or not to wear modest dress and the veil, as opposed to Western dress. Also discusses the proper role of women in a modern Islamic society, with specific attention to the recent practice of women entering mosques to hold study meetings. Looks at the stuggle for women's rights in Egypt within the framework of their own Islamic traditions.

  • ""Egyptian women were the first Arab women to march in political demonstrations (1919), the first to take off their veils publicly (1923), and the first to receive free secular education (1924). But today the educated grandaughters of those early Arab feminists are returning to Islamic dress, complete with full face veil and gloves. A veiled revolution considers possible reasons for this turn back to tradition-- the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism, the rejection of western values-- as Egyptian women speak out.""
