Classes of Ladies of Cloistered Spaces: Writing Feminist History Through Biography in Fin-De-Siecle Egypt
ISBN: 9780748694860 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Zaynab Fawwaz (c. 1860-1914) was a forceful voice in support of women's rights to education and work choices in colonial-era Egypt. Her volume of 453 women's lives, al-Durr al-manthur fi tabaqat rabbat al-khudur (Pearls scattered in times and places: classes of ladies of cloistered spaces), was published between 1893 and 1896 and features Boudicca, Catherine the Great and Victoria Woodhull, among many others. Booth presents Fawwaz's dictionary as a 'feminist history' and a key text in the debates on gender and national efficacy in 1890s Egypt and Ottoman Syria.

May Her Likes Be Multiplied: Biography and Gender Politics in Egypt
ISBN: 9780520224209 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Marilyn Booth's elegantly conceived study reveals the Arabic tradition of life-writing in an entirely new light. Though biography had long been male-authored, in the late nineteenth century short sketches by and about women began to appear in biographical dictionaries and women's journals. By 1940, hundreds of such biographies had been published, featuring Arabs, Turks, Indians, Europeans, North Americans, and ancient Greeks and Persians. Booth uses over five hundred "famous women" biographies--which include subjects as diverse as Joan of Arc, Jane Austen, Aisha bt. Abi Bakr, Sarojini Naidu,...

Harem Histories: Envisioning Places and Living Spaces
ISBN: 9780822348696 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Harem Histories is an interdisciplinary collection of essays exploring the harem as it was imagined, represented, and experienced in Middle Eastern and North African societies, and by visitors to those societies. One theme that threads through the collection is the intimate interrelatedness of West and East evident in encounters within and around the harem, whether in the elite socializing of precolonial Tunis or the popular historical novels published in Istanbul and Cairo from the late nineteenth century onward. Several of the contributors focus on European culture as a repository of...

Memoirs from the Women's Prison
ISBN: 9781786997708 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1981, the celebrated author and activist Nawal el Saadawi was imprisoned by the Sadat regime in her native Egypt, for `crimes against the state'. Through haunting and evocative prose, Saadawi here recounts how she and her fellow prisoners continued to resist even in captivity, and to form a community which transcended divisions between secular and religious activists. She reveals both the harrowing detail and the everyday mundanity of prison life, as well as the bravery and resolve of all women resisting oppression - and of political prisoners around the world. Memoirs...

The Long 1890s in Egypt: Colonial Quiescence, Subterranean Resistance
ISBN: 9780748670123 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Egypt just before political eruption Turns of the century in Africa's northeastern corner have been critical moments, ushering in overt popular activism in the hope of radical political redirection--as this volume's focus on Egypt's 19th-century fin-de-siecle demonstrates.
The end of the 19th century in Egypt witnessed crisscrossing and conflicting political currents as well as fluctuating economic, geopolitical, social conditions, demographic conditions and cultural processes. Like Egypt's 20th-century fin-de-siecle, much of this ferment was a prelude to the more visible and politically...

Children of the Waters
ISBN: 9780292777736 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ibtihal Salem's writing provides an excellent forum for studying both everyday life in Egypt and current literary experimentation in the Middle East. Her poignant pieces hover between the structure of story-telling, the visuality of vignettes, and the compression of poetry. They both record and evoke a literary ferment going on in Egypt today. Salem's writing of the last thirty years is lauded for its social messages also. Finding the expression of sexuality necessary to explicate problems of Egyptian identity, Salem often links poverty to gender marginality. Her heroines, however,...

Memoirs from the Women's Prison
ISBN: 9780520088887 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Often likened to Rigoberta Menchu and Nadine Gordimer, Nawal El Saadawi is one of the world's leading feminist authors. Director of Health and Education in Cairo, she was summarily dismissed from her post in 1972 for her political writing and activities. In 1981 she was imprisoned by Anwar Sadat for alleged "crimes against the State" and was not released until after his assassination. Memoirs from the Women's Prison offers both firsthand witness to women's resistance to state violence and fascinating insights into the formation of women's community. Saadawi describes how political...

When Rajaa Alsanea boldly chose to open up the hidden world of Saudi women--their private lives and their conflicts with the traditions of their culture--she caused a sensation across the Arab world. Now in English, Alsanea's tale of the personal struggles of four young upper-class women offers Westerners an unprecedented glimpse into a society often veiled from view. Living in restrictive Riyadh but traveling all over the globe, these modern Saudi women literally and figuratively shed traditional garb as they search for love, fulfillment, and their place somewhere in between Western society...
