A Social History Of Women And Gender In The Modern Middle East

By: Margaret Lee Meriwether

Synthesizing the results of the extensive research on women and gender done over the last twenty years, Margaret L. Meriwether and Judith E. Tucker provide an accessible overview of the scholarship on women and gender in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century Middle East. The book is organized along thematic lines that reflect major focuses of research in this area—gender and work, gender and the state, gender and law, gender and religion, and feminist movements—and each chapter is written by a scholar who has done original research on the topic.

The Kin Who Count

Family and Society in Ottoman Aleppo, 1770-1840

By: Margaret L. Meriwether

The history of the Middle Eastern family presents as many questions as there are currently answers. Who lived together in the household? Who married whom and for how long? Who got a piece of the patrimonial pie? These are the questions that Margaret Meriwether investigates in this groundbreaking study of family life among the upper classes of the Ottoman Empire in the pre-modern and early modern period. Meriwether recreates Aleppo family life over time from records kept by the Islamic religious courts that held jurisdiction over all matters of family law and property transactions. From this research, she asserts that the stereotype of the large, patriarchal patrilineal family rarely existed in reality. Instead, Aleppo's notables organized their families in a great diversity of ways, despite the fact that they were all members of the same social class with widely shared cultural values, acting under the same system of family law. She concludes that this had important implications for gender relations and demonstrates that it gave women more authority and greater autonomy than is usually acknowledged.

Who in the World Is Margaret Sherman?

By: Margaret Sherman

The idea for this book was presented to me March 15, 1995. It came off the press December 1995. That made this book my baby and I didn't have one labor pain while it was being delivered. Everyone says it reads so easily. It was almost like it was meant to be. I self financed all 5500 and only have three left. I never asked anyone to buy a book. I carry a business card that says "Sales, promotions and Freelance Writer." When I hand that out, without fail the person will say 'What kind of things do you write?" When I tell them about the book they will say "Where can I get one" and I say "Oh, I just happen to have them in the trunk of my car." Now as far as I know through personal sales the books are in 38 states of the USA plus three in Germany, one each in Canada, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, China, Belize, Scotland and the latest one in Wales.
