Abstract / Summary: This issue features a speech by Hoda Charaoui, which marked the opening of the Tenth Congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance in Paris during May and June 1926. Charaoui opens by remarking on Egypt’s long admiration of France, the host nation, and by explaining that as the first nation to adopt the Rights of Man and Citizen it should also be a haven for women’s rights and equal citizenship. Charaoui follows by discussing the women’s movement in Egypt, which, as a country straddling two continents, was looked to as a progressive example by women in Algeria, Tunisia, and Syria. Far from embodying Western Orientalist projections, Eastern women in her view are witnessing tangible progress in countries like Egypt and Turkey.
