Civil society is often seen as male, structured in a way that
excludes women from public and political life. Much feminist
scholarship sees civil society and feminism as incompatible a
result. But scholars and activists are currently trying to update
this view by looking at women's positions in civil society and
women's activism. This book contributes to this new research,
arguing that civil society is a contested terrain where women can
negotiate and successfully challenge dominant discourses in
society. The book is based on interviews with women activists from
ten women's organizations in Turkey. Foregrounding the voices of
women, the book answers the question "How do women's NGOs
contribute to civil society in the Middle East?". At a time when
civil society is being promoted and institutionalised in Turkey,
particularly by the EU, this book demonstrates that women's
organisations can help achieve women's emancipation, even if there
are significant differences in their approaches and ideas.
