[QUOTE]Originally posted by Adoula: [QB] Monica, As per your request, I will say my opinion. The chief justice in ancient Egypt was a goddess named Maat, Egypt gave birth to the women's movement in the Middle East back in 1924 when feminist Hoda Sharaawi tore off her veil. But modern Egyptian women haven't fared so well. Finally there was a push by First Lady Suzanne Mubarak, the unofficial cultural capital of the Middle East may soon appoint its first female justices, according to the National Council of Women, established by the president in 2000. Women now work, vote and speak their minds to a much greater degree. But when it comes to self confidence, they fail. Women now may have the choice to go out, but do you think all of their male counterparts would let them go out? It's their husbands and brothers and fathers that won't let them go out. The government gives more power to women than the culture. It will take work, time and turmoil to change a culture that is dominated by men. And for now, it is not about the acting, speaking or even writing out of thoughts and desires, but rather, of acknowledging, embracing and giving worth to what is within. Egypt's most famous feminist, Nawal el Saadawi argues that Muslim women are in a crisis, caught in a trench between the pressures of modernization and the power of the fundamentalists. I am not convinced that women are going forward in Egypt; we are going backward," says el Saadawi, who once fled the country after Islamists declared her an apostate, attempted to dissolve her marriage, and threatened to kill her. This isn't the end of the struggle for women's rights in Egypt, they still have far to go. [/QB][/QUOTE]
