In Egypt as a Woman, Beth Baron divides her narrative into two strands: the first analyzes the gendered language and images of the nation, and the second considers the political activities of women nationalists. She shows that, even though women were largely excluded from participation in the state, the visual imagery of nationalism was replete with female figures. Baron juxtaposes the idealization of the family and the feminine in nationalist rhetoric with transformations in elite households and the work of women activists striving for national independence. 606 $aWomen$zEgypt$xPolitical activity 606 $aWomen$zMiddle East 606 $aGender identity$zEgypt 606 $aNationalism$zEgypt 606 $aFeminism$zEgypt 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aWomen 615 0$aGender identity 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aFeminism 676 $a305.4/0962 700 $aBaron$b Beth$0660644 801 0$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247901303316 996 $aEgypt as a woman$92420798 997 $aUNISA
