About the Book

The Arab Spring uprisings were not about gender; these were uprisings demanding rights for all. Yet, they presented a rare opportunity for women to let themselves be heard. And, from being some of the most memorable and lasting leaders of these revolutionary protests, female activists were particularly targeted by many regimes.   In A Spring Aborted: How Authoritarianism Violates Women's Rights in the Arab World, leadership expert Yusuf Sidani tracks the contributions of female activists, the reasons for the Arab Spring, and the abuse these leaders suffered. Including analysis of protests across Sudan, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, and Tunisia, Sidani looks at the aims of the protests, and the impact, evaluating whether the changes brought about were deep enough to disrupt governance structures.  Finally, Sidani explores how the Arab Spring has been hijacked. From deep divisions among the allies who shaped the Arab Spring, to sheer force and brutality, Sidani analyses the causes of the Spring's disintegration.

Table of Contents:
Preface 1. Women of the Arab Spring  2. Why the Arab Spring?  3. Women, Honor, and Sexual Violence  4. Feminism and the Arab Spring  Conclusion: Final Words - "Arab Spring" or "Arab Autumn"?

Review :
This pocket-size yet detailed overview for scholars and students investigates factors related to women’s rights in the wake of the Arab Spring movement. The book explains the reasons behind Arab Spring and shows how and why the movement was hijacked by fragmentation, infighting, and brutal oppression. The book then turns to the roles and fates of female activists in the Arab world. The abuse and sexual assault of female activists is examined in the context of the Arab honor culture and the acceptance of sexual violence against women in Arab culture. The book profiles the work of two women activists: Bouthaina Shaaban and Nawal El-Saadawi. It concludes with a look at current conditions in Sudan, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, and Tunisia. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution.
