The author uses arguments based on Islam to call for improvement in the status of women.Although "The Liberation of Women" was published near the turn of the century, it continues to be a source of controversy and debate in the Arab world, and is still a key work for understanding the feminist movement there. Starting from the premise that the liberation of women is an essential prerequisite for the liberation of Egyptian society from foreign domination, Qasim Amin uses arguments based on Islam to call for an improvement in the status of women. His criticisms are aimed at the veil and the social seclusion of women, arranged marriages, polygamy, and divorce practices. He insists on education for women as the primary means to enable them to play a constructive role in society. |
