Organizing Women

This article examines the women's movement in Algeria in the context of domestic developments, such as the post-Boumedienne restructuring of the state, regional liberalization, and global developments such as the rise of Islamism and the expansion of feminism. It points to the emergence of the Algerian feminist movement during the crises of the 1980s and 1990s, and to its current interface with regional and transnational feminist organizations.
