• The importance of historical context, including pre-Islamic through post-colonial histories
• The importance of politics and the state in understanding women in the ME
• Women, family, and the state
• Women’s roles in political and social movements
• Discourses and practices of religion

• Women and sites of cultural production

A unique overview of cutting-edge research in the key arenas of pre-Islamic to post-colonial
histories, this Handbook will affect the way future generations of scholars engage with and add to the vast repository of socio-political studies of the Middle East. It will thus be of interest to researchers in gender studies, women’s studies, pre-Islamic and post-colonial studies, feminist studies, and socio-political and socio-economic studies.
