    This book assesses the contribution of women to the Arabic novel, both in subject matter and form. It begins by tracing the struggle over womens rights in the Arab world, particularly the gradual improvement in womens access to education--the first area in which women made significant gains. Subsequent chapters discuss Arab women writers remarkable talents and determination to overcome the barriers of a male-dominated culture; survey the 1950s and 1960s, during which womens writing gained momentum and more women writers emerged; and address the shift in emphasis and attitude that womens literature underwent in the late 1960s, especially following the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, when women novelists began to place more stress on international politics. Zeidan adapts Western-based feminist literary theory to a discussion of Arab womens literature but refrains from imposing that theory inappropriately on literature whose context differs significantly. He compares the womens movements in Arab and Western cultures and the development of womens literature in those cultures, and uses these comparisons to highlight similarities and differences between them as well as to consider how one affected the other. His analysis culminates in the early 1980s--the end of the formative years--when womens writing had become a familiar part of Arabic literature in general and a positive reflection on the collective Arab consciousness.
