title = "Double-Edged Politics on Women's Rights in the MENA Region",
abstract = "While the Arab Uprisings presented new opportunities for the empowerment of women, the sidelining of women remains a constant risk in the post-revolutionist MENA countries. Changes in the position of women are crucial to the reconfiguration of state-society relations and the discussion between Islamist and secular trends. Theoretically framed and based on new empirical data, this edited volume explores women{\textquoteright}s activism and political representation as well as discursive changes, with a particular focus on secular and Islamist feminism, and changes in popular opinions on women{\textquoteright}s position in society.
