Modern Egyptian Women, Fashion and Faith
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-38664-0 (ISBN)
This book discusses Egyptian Muslim women's dress as the social, political and ideological signifier of the changing attitudes towards Western modernity. It employs women's clothing styles as a feminist act that provides rich insights into the power and limits of legal regulations and hegemonic discourses in constructing gendered and cultural borders in the modern Egyptian public sphere. Furthermore, through highlighting marginalized but significant models and historical moments of cultural exchange between Muslim and Western cultures through female dress, the book tells a third story beyond the binary model of an assumed modest oppressed traditional Muslim woman vis-à-vis consumer emancipated modern Western woman in mainstream Western discourse and literary representation.
