This introductory text explores the gendered history of the modern
Middle East, from the eighteenth century to the present, studying
the various ways in which gender has defined the region and shaped
relations in the modern era. The book captures three aspects of
change simultaneously: the events that mark the “modern” Middle
east, women’s encounters with the transition to modernity and
gendered responses to modernity. It contains both new field work
and a synthesis of secondary scholarship that highlight the role of
gender in the modernization of Egypt, Turkey, Iran, the Levant and
the Persian Gulf states. Chapters are organized chronologically to
chart the rapid developments of the modern era, but each chapter
also stands on its own, with coverage of masculinity and
femininity, sexuality, marriage and the family, labor and women’s
contributions to Arab Spring uprisings. Through this comprehensive
account, the book pushes back on stereotypes that the Middle East
is an ahistorical region and that women have not been vital actors
in the process of change. Richly illustrated and accessible for a
variety of readers, History, Women and Gender in the Modern Middle
East is an ideal resource for undergraduate and postgraduate
students in gender studies and Middle Eastern history.
