This book discusses Egyptian Muslim women's dress as the social,
political and ideological signifier of the changing attitudes
towards Western modernity. It employs women's clothing styles as a
feminist act that provides rich insights into the power and limits
of legal regulations and hegemonic discourses in constructing
gendered and cultural borders in the modern Egyptian public sphere.
Furthermore, through highlighting marginalized but significant
models and historical moments of cultural exchange between Muslim
and Western cultures through female dress, the book tells a third
story beyond the binary model of an assumed modest oppressed
traditional Muslim woman vis-Ã -vis consumer emancipated
modern Western woman in mainstream Western discourse and literary
representation.
