Details
- Abstract / Summary
- This article outlines fin-de-siècle French understandings of Muslim women in North Africa. The author, borrowing from select sources, depicts the lives of Muslim Algerian women as sad and repressed unless they receive substantial attention from the French colonizer. The French civilizing mission, for example, is touted as a liberatory force in Muslim women’s lives since a French education and French-taught homemaking skills were perceived to free women from the “slavery” of traditional Muslim marriage. Becoming French, according to the author, meant for Muslim Algerian women becoming free from the oppressive nature of Muslim patriarchy.
