This is an automatically translated description

If you ask someone the name of a famous female politician, you are likely to hear a European or American name. And this once again confirms how little we know about women in politics from other parts of the world.

The book "Women's Emirate? Women Politicians of the Muslim World is a collection of stories of prominent political and public figures from the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Turkey, and other Muslim countries, which have been collected and translated into Ukrainian for the first time. These women not only became the first parliamentarians, prime ministers, ministers, and speakers of parliament in their countries, but also went through a thorny path, became influential and famous both in their homeland and abroad.

The book will help to understand the Muslim world and the nature of women's rights in Islam, the contradictions and combination of feminism and Islam, the difference in views on Islamic feminism in the conventional "West" and "East". The author examines social movements and organisations, public campaigns and protests in Muslim states that have influenced women's political rights and led to significant changes in the Middle East and beyond.
