power and woman
Tebaa 4th volume
This volume of Tebaa tackles a critical topic related to
women’s relations to official powers; political, legitimistic
and executive powers. In addition to how these powers – all of
them or some – contribute to the support of discrimination
against women. In the context of exposure to some of these
powers, the paper “Justice Opens its Eyes” compares the adultery
verdicts in the Islamic Sharia and in the Egyptian law. There is
a sharp contrast between the Sharia verdicts and the Egyptian
law verdicts. In the Sharia verdicts of adultery men and women
are equal. However, the Egyptian law is completely prejudice to
men, and is in contradiction with Sharia verdicts, even though
the Islamic Sharia claims to be the source of the laws.
The volume also includes other research about laws that
distinguish differences in outcomes between men and women. This
research illustrates how the law discriminates against women.
Also the volume focuses on legitimistic power represented in the
parliaments, this is through the abstract of the book “women in
elected parliaments” which contains a lot of papers each tackles
the system of shares (dedicated seats for women in the
parliaments).
The paper “The Feminist Movement as a Political One” presents
another form of conflict for women. This conflict deals with the
history of the political movement. With the political powers
along the history of the movement. In this frame of the relation
between feminism and power, another research comes to indicate
another form of women’s issue of marginalization, through
focusing on the patriotic and political issues and delaying the
feminist demands until another time. Other research on the topic
of women and their relations to power states the issue of
marginalizing women by focusing on patriotic and political
issues. These issues delay the feminist demands. The book
“Globalization, Gender and Religion” points out that power does
not consider it enough to marginalize women’s issues. Besides,
the volume involves a set of researches each presents the
situation of religious and governmental power in many Catholic
and Islamic countries of the decisions of Beijing conference.
The book “women in front of women” presents an image of the
active powers in the Egyptian society of the state power and the
Islamic groups’ power, in addition to civil associations which
based on secular grounds.
If the previous researches shed light on certain patterns of
power practices in certain places, the research of “post
feminism” comes to represent a theory which tends to destroy the
central power in its marginalized place, since the more freedom
allowed by the situation on the margin.
