Description:
Looks at the influence of state, economy, and religion on women in a country that attempted to seclude women within the home. Shows that the power of the state to transform gender relations was constrained by war, economic restructuring, and women's responses to oppression, and examines the alliance between religious and secular women who have demanded reforms. The author is a visiting fellow at the Department of Development Studies at the Open University and a visiting lecturer at Birkbeck College and SOAS, London University.
