As Iraq was metaphorically transformed into a 'female', through its nationalist trope, women writers simultaneously found opportunities and faced obstacles from the state, as the 'woman question' became a site of contention between those who would advocate the progressiveness of the Ba'th and those who would stress its repressiveness and immorality. By exploring discourses on gender in both propaganda and high art fictional writings by Iraqis, this book offers an alternative narrative of the literary and cultural history of Iraq.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hawraa Al-Hassan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474441750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474441759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Hawraa Al-Hassan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942903120127,"sku":"9781474441759","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8045b7ad-a337-4053-8028-18f1c01ecfb2.jpg?v=1681495033","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-writing-and-the-iraqi-hawraa-al-hassan-9781474441759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
