Political and social participation of Egyptian women

Abstract

El movimiento feminista egipcio ha sido considerado pionero en la articulación del movimiento feminista árabe. Sin embargo, como se analiza en este artículo, en las últimas décadas se ha producido una regresión, debido a diversas circunstancias político-económicas, que ha reducido la participación de la mujer egipcia en la vida política y social del país.The Egyptian feminist movement has been regarded as having had a pioneering role in organizing the Arab feminist movement. However, as this article reveals, the last few decades here witnessed a backward trend due to various political and economic factors, which has led to lower levels of participation by Egyptian women in the political and social life of the country
