Women and Knowledge in the Mediterranean

Women in the Mediterranean have helped constitute new meanings of knowledge whilst simultaneously providing a wealth of material that is now part of the knowledge archive of the area. The inception of types of knowledge that differ from the conventional necessitates a redefinition of the concept of knowledge, an issue that is addressed in this volume.

Employing a range of theories and methodologies, this book explores four main domains in which womens knowledge is attested: women and written knowledge; women and oral knowledge; women and legal, religious, and economic knowledge; and women and media knowledge. By presenting untapped womens expressions of knowledge in these domains, this book opens new avenues of research in fields such as sociology, history, and literature, amongst others.

This book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of the Middle East, women and gender studies, and Mediterranean studies.

Fatima Sadiqi is Senior Professor of Linguistics and Gender Studies and recipient of a Harvard Fellowship. Her main research interests are language, culture, and womens and gender issues in North Africa. She is currently writing a book with the provisional title A Feminism of Ones Own: Womens Empowerment in Morocco Going Beyond Islam .
