Description
Among various important efforts to address women’s issues in Morocco, a particular set of individuals and associations have formed around two specific goals: reforming the Moroccan Family Code and raising awareness of women’s rights. Evrard chronicles the history of the women’s rights movement, exploring the organizational structure, activities, and motivations with specific attention to questions of legal reform and family law. Employing ethnographic scrutiny, Evrard presents the stories of the individual women behind the movement and the challenges they faced. Given the vast reform of the Moroccan Family Code in 2004, and the emphasis on the role of women across the Middle East and North Africa today, this book makes a timely argument for the analysis of women’s rights as both global and local in origin, evolution, and application.

"Morocco’s reform of its family code, the Moudawana, stands as a milestone in bettering women’s status while staying within moderate understandings of Islam. Amy Evrard adds greatly to our understanding of how this reform was realized through her sophisticated study of the Moroccan women’s movement as a social movement. Evrard lays out a new paradigm of analysis as she situates this reform between the ‘global’ and the ‘local,’ balancing Moroccan women’s discussions of their needs and aspirations with the discourse of women’s search for gender equity worldwide."—Donna Lee Bowen, Brigham Young University
