Críticas:
""This book provides a much needed study of gender ideology in the late Ottoman Period. It is a valuable step towards revealing the ways that the 'Woman Question' was about gender more broadly and had great impact on a wide array of social relations, so that no major historical development, such as the Nahda, can properly be understood without due consideration of the matter of gender. A sound intellectual project which should find an audience among a number of constituencies, including those interested in Ottoman history, Arabic literature, intellectual history, gender studies in the Middle East, and in the history of gender in a global perspective."" Dr. A. Holly Shissler, Associate Professor, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, University of Chicago, USA ""The ""Arab awakening"" of the late-nineteenth century - the Nahda - has hitherto been treated rather lightly by scholars of the modern Middle East. Recent studies have shown it to have been an important historic development of profound social and cultural implications. The new book by Zachs and Halevi sheds much new light on the manifold effects of that momentous shift. Its focus on the gender facet of the changes - women's rights, marriage, sexuality, as well as masculinity and manly virtues - underscores the multidimensional nature of the Nahda. It is a refreshingly innovative study in its approach and methodology, which combines historical scrutiny with literary criticism. Scholars and students of modern Arab history, cultural history in general, and gender studies should find this work at once inspiring and rewarding.""
