OverviewSandberg and Aqertit analyze how, over the course of twenty-five years, dedicated, smart, and politically effective Moroccan women, working simultaneously in multiple settings and aware of each other’s work, altered Morocco’s entrenched gender institution of regularized practices and distinctive rights and obligations for men and women. In telling the story of these Moroccan gender activists, Sandberg and Aqertit’s work is of interest to Middle East and North Africa (MENA) area specialists, to feminist and gender researchers, and to institutionalist scholars. Their work operationalizes and offers a template for studying change in national gender institutions that can be adopted by practitioners and scholars in other country settings.

The Moroccan case is crucial; it is paradoxically unique and similar to other countries. As a result, Moroccan Women, Activists, and Gender Politics will furnish scholars and analysts with valuable insights about an important story of the institutional and societal transformation of gender in Morocco. And their institutional analysis of gender is a framework that can and will be used to investigate other countries that have experienced profound social reform and change.--Gregory White, Smith College, co-editor of Journal of North African Studies Author InformationEve Sandberg is chair of the Politics Department at Oberlin College.
