{"product_id":"syrian-women-edmond-melhem-9781533095268","title":"Syrian Women: Their Struggle in Society and their Empowerment through the Syrian Social Nationalist Party","description":"This book highlights the plight of women in countries of the Fertile Crescent and focuses on the process of women's empowerment, which requires a change in the mind-set of the people and seeks to redress gender discrimination; to challenge patriarchy and traditional power relations; and to enable women to develop their skills and abilities in order to have control of their lives.The author argues that women's empowerment can be supported by the growing influence of grassroots and other nongovernmental organizations, which seek to enable women to participate in various spheres of social life through increased involvement in societal institutions. It can be also supported by the spread of political parties and national movements, which attract women and allow them to occupy decision-making positions, to participate in public life, and to contribute to the struggle for participatory democratic forms of social life. The Syrian Social Nationalist Party, founded by Antun Sa'adeh in 1932, provided real opportunity for empowering Syrian women. This work sheds light on the history of the Syrian Social Nationalist movement and its early female recruits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edmond Melhem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1533095264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781533095268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.96d","brand":"Edmond Melhem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985583669503,"sku":"9781533095268","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_103f0be1-f801-42ba-b9d1-e372caa2c687.jpg?v=1683278377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/syrian-women-edmond-melhem-9781533095268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
