What is Women Resisting Sexual Violence and the Egyptian Revolution Arab Feminist Testimonies : Arab FeministTestimonies about?

Women were at the forefront of the Egyptian Revolution in 2011, with the Arab Spring protests providing an unprecedented opportunity to make their voices heard. But these women also faced an intense backlash from Egypts patriarchal authorities, with female activists subjected to sexual violence and intimidation by the regime and even fellow protestors. Centered on the testimonies of four women who each played a significant role in the protests, this book provides unique insight into womens experiences during the Egyptian Revolution, and into the methods of resistance these women developed in response to sexual violence. In the process, Manal Hamzeh casts new light on the relationship between gendered and state violence, and argues that womens resistance to this violence is reshaping gender relations in Egypt and the wider Arab world.
