About this book

Kumari Jayawardena traces the emergence of feminist movements across Asia and the Middle East from the late nineteenth century to the struggle for national independence. Through case studies including Egypt, Turkey, Iran, India, Sri Lanka, China, Japan and other societies, she shows how women challenged colonial power, local patriarchy and claims that emancipation was merely a Western import. A pioneering comparative history, the book restores women to the centre of anticolonial modernity. Originally written in English, the work appears here in an Arabic translation by Abdullah Fadel.
