An original study explaining why leaders in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia adopted more extensive women's rights than their Middle Eastern counterparts.

Recenzje

'Tripp's scientific method, rich case studies, and critical engagement make Seeking Legitimacy a valuable contribution to the literature on women in the Middle East. It certainly deserves a place on syllabi across departments and courses that tackle the thorny questions of gender inequality and women's rights in the MENA region.' Nada Matta, Social Forces
