"This book is an important effort to tease out women's political consciousness in a particularly volatile colonial setting. . . . It adopts an explicitly feminist stance in its effort to demonstrate that women were able to assert a certain autonomy despite the repressive aspects of colonial rule and nationalist ideology. It also joins efforts to de-center notions of feminism from European and American experiences by defining an 'indigenous' feminism in Palestine. The book's most outstanding contribution is, perhaps, its use of oral histories to capture a lived reality unrecorded in documents. As a result, this study succeeds admirably in its stated project, the recovery of women's history in a field that had all but buried it."--Elizabeth Thompson, author of "Colonial Citizens: Republican Rights, Paternal Privilege, and Gender in French Syria and Lebanon" "An original piece of scholarship that clearly and consistently departs from past scholarship and points the way toward new frameworks and concepts of analysis."--Julie Peteet, author of "Gender in Crisis: Women and the Palestinian Resistance Movement"
