In Women's Activism and New Media in the Arab World author Ahmed Al-Rawi discusses and maps out new feminist movements, organizations, and trends, assessing the influence of new media technologies on them and the impact of both on the values and culture of the Middle East. Due to the participation of many women in the events of the Arab Spring, he argues, a new image of Middle Eastern women has emerged in the West. As a result of social media, women have generally become more effective in expressing their views and better connected with each other, yet at the same time some women have been inhibited since many conservative circles use these new technologies to maintain their power. Overall, however, Al-Rawi argues that social media and new mobile technologies are assisting in creating changes that are predominately positive. Often assisted by these new technologies, the real change makers are women who have clear agencies and high hopes and aspirations to create a better future for themselves"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Feminism $z Arab countries. 650 0 $a Women $x Political activity $z Arab countries. 650 0 $a Mass media and women $z Arab countries. 650 0 $a Social movements $z Arab countries. 650 7 $a Feminism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922671 650 7 $a Mass media and women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011380 650 7 $a Social movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122657 650 7 $a Women $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734136 651 7 $a Arab countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240128 650 7 $a Social Media. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Feminismus. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Soziale Bewegung. $2 gnd 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015655.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0663D30C9F4311EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
