Abstract

A survey of women's rights activism in Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia from the 1980s to the Arab Spring reveals an emphasis on legal equality through family law reform, collective action against fundamentalism and political Islam, advocacy to end violence against women, and lobbying to enhance women's political participation and social rights.
