Abstract:
Examines the practice of seclusion of women throughout the Middle East from its beginnings. This work discusses the reasons that seclusion may not be as oppressive as is generally accepted, and, in fact, may be an empowering force for women in both the West and East. It is suitable for those interested in women's history and feminism.
