Focusing on the impact of economic liberalization policies from 1983 to 1993, she shows the crucial role of the household in survival strategies among low-income Egyptians. Hoodfar, an Iranian Muslim by birth, presents research that undermines many of the stereotypes associated with traditional Muslim women. Their apparent conservatism, she says, is based on rational calculation of the costs and benefits of working within formal and informal labor markets to secure household power. She posits that increasing adherence to Islam and taking up the veil on the part of women has been partially motivated by women's desire to protect and promote their interests both within and beyond households. 410 0$aComparative studies on Muslim societies ;$vVolume 24. 606 $aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects$zEgypt$zCairo Region 606 $aHome economics$zEgypt$zCairo Region 606 $aPoor$zEgypt$zCairo Region 606 $aSex role$zEgypt$zCairo Region 615 0$aHouseholds$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aHome economics 615 0$aPoor 615 0$aSex role 676 $a339.22 700 $aHoodfar$b Homa$01222246 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495875803321 996 $aBetween marriage and the market$92834312 997 $aUNINA
