Accommodating Protest: Working Women, the New Veiling, and Change in Cairo
MacLeod, Arlene (BATES COLLEGE)
Accommodating Protest explores the subculture framing the behavior of lower-middle-class women in Cairo and evaluates their constraints and opportunities in a rapidly changing city. MacLeod examines the conflicting ideologies of the lower middle class, where economic pressures compel women to enter the workplace, even as traditional values encourage them to stay home as wives and mothers.
