This article will try to explain why and how women have been able to appropriate the revolution, and whether men and women are asking for the same rights. The article will analyze gender in the revolution through insights from a piece of street art painted by two young artists. It will demonstrate that the revolution per se is not female; rather, it is the characteristics of Lebanon’s revolution that have put women’s faces at the fore.","PeriodicalId":215420,"journal":{"name":"Al-Raida Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122225022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Women, Agency and Spaces of Protest: Lessons from the Iranian Revolution","authors":"Elham Atashi","doi":"10.32380/ALRJ.VI.1774","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32380/ALRJ.VI.1774","url":null,"abstract":"The Arab Spring heralded a new era of women’s grassroots participation in protests and demands for a more democratic and accountable model of governance. Yet despite being pivotal to the success of popular protests, women’s spaces in the post-uprising period remain in many cases closed, if not more restrained. Why has this pattern been persistent in revolutions, radical transitions and social movements in the Middle East? Why are movements for progress continuously turned to repression in terms of women’s spaces and places in society? Even before the upheavals and popularization of the Arab Spring, the experiences of women in other movements in the region reveal a similar pattern. This paper focuses on the Iranian Revolution and the tension relative to women’s agency in the peripheral spaces in social movements. It argues that women’s intervention and unification is far more legitimate, developed and represented during the initial and often spontaneous stages of populist movements. In response to reclaiming previously closed political spaces there is a need to narrate, extend and reconfigure women’s agency and discourse in popular uprisings. Lessons from women in Iran demonstrate the significance of the post-movement spaces as crucial sites for resistance.","PeriodicalId":215420,"journal":{"name":"Al-Raida Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114974088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ten years later, I woke up one day, with one blind eye. I couldn’t see for a week, and at school, I was called “Blind Girl.” That’s when I realized how people label each other, categorize each other, and reject anything that looks different. By the time I was eighteen, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which is a neurological illness that can affect any part of the body. You may wake up blind one day, paralyzed the next; but not all people with MS are in wheelchairs. My doctor, however, did tell my parents that I would end up in a wheelchair, and that it was pointless to pursue higher education. But because I felt like there was a ticking bomb, the shadow of loss looming behind me, I took everything two steps at a time. I ran as fast as I could, and realized that I wanted to teach literature. Sometimes, as cliche as this might sound, we give up on our dreams. Or, we put them on hold. But when dreams are threatened, when you feel that loss is inevitable, you have a choice: you either give up, or fight harder than ever before. There were days where I struggled to write my essays, and as you all know, literature majors need their hands to write. We write and write. I needed to learn how to find different ways of holding the pen, managing my exams, and still attempting to keep my chin up. It was no easy task.","PeriodicalId":215420,"journal":{"name":"Al-Raida Journal","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127738602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
