  Cet article de Marina Ottaway et Omayma Abdellatif est intitulé: "Women in Islamist Movements: To ward an Islamist Model of Women's Activism" est une contribution récente du Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. A travers différents examples, les auteurs montrent que la participation féminine dans les mouvements islamistes dans le monde arabe va en s'accroissant. Cette présence de femmes islamistes pourraient alors donner lieu à un vaste mouvement en faveur des droits des femmes.En voici la présentation synthétisée:Through interviews and conversations with women belonging to Lebanon’s Hizballah, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, and other Islamist organizations across numerous Arab nations, the authors found an energetic debate among women activists on their newfound role as political actors.          Key findings:     Islamist      women are concerned with the preservation of Islamist values, and as such,      deny that they are embracing a Western-style feminist agenda, which they      consider a rejection of women’s obligations to family and      community. They do, however, display increased dissatisfaction with      their position in Islamist movements, and wish to be seen as potential      leaders, not just foot soldiers. Islamist      movements have depended on women to reach out to all segments of the      population, leading to successful engagement in political tasks such as      election campaigning, mobilizing members, and electoral      monitoring. As women became active in these movements, they became      increasingly aware of their importance and began petitioning for more      significant roles as political actors. Islamist      women argue that Islamic precepts originally did not aim to subjugate      women, but were distorted by social and cultural norms that antedated      Islam. In this view, the struggle for women’s rights is a      struggle to restore Islam to its original form.
