On December 20, 2011, Egyptian women of all ages and
backgrounds—urban and rural, working class and upper class—came
out in force to Cairo’s Tahrir Square in one of the largest
uprisings in the country’s history. The demonstrators gathered as
citizens and likewise as women demanding social change and the
right to gender equality. The size and impact of that uprising
underscore the vital importance of women activists to what became
known as the Arab Spring. In Resistance, Revolt, and Gender Justice
in Egypt, Tadros charts the arc of the Egyptian women’s movement,
capturing the changing dynamics of gender activism over the course
of two decades. She explores the interface between feminist
movements, Islamist forces, and three regime ruptures in the battle
over women’s status in Egyptian society and politics. Parsing the
factors that contribute to the success and failure of activist
movements, Tadros provides valuable insight on sustaining social
change and a vitally important perspective on women’s evolving
status in a contemporary authoritarian context.
