El papel de la mujer en la construcción del Estado Palestino

Abstract

This PhD Thesis presents the history of the Palestinian women's movement and the role that Palestinian women in general have played in the Palestinian struggle for self-determination between 1929 and 1982. To this end, it studies the impact that the colonization and occupation of Palestine has on Palestinian women, their role in the processes and the struggle for social and political change, as well as, how these women have organized themselves and/or have reacted to the colonization and occupation of their land in every different time and place of this period in the history of the Palestinian national struggle. 18 For this, the Thesis is structured in two parts: the First Part corresponding to the period before 1948, where most of the activity of women occurs within historic Palestine; and a Second Part, covering the post-1948 period. The First Part, entitled "Palestinian women during the British Mandate (1920-1948)" consists of four chapters. A chapter of context and background to the period covered: Chapter One: "Palestinian women during the Ottoman Empire (XIX-1920)". And three chapters about the origin, development and structuring of a Palestinian women's movement around the political events that occur until the end of the British Mandate over Palestine: Chapter Two: "The formation of a women's movement in Palestine during the British Mandate (1920-1936)". Chapter Three: "The Palestinian women's movement during the Rebellion of 1936-1939”. Chapter Four: "The 30s and 40s. The Palestinian women’s movement until 1948"...
