Tunisian women and the Arab Spring

This book aims to study the peaceful participation of women in Tunisia during and after the Jasmine Revolution of 2011. In this sense, it is important to point out the role of Tunisian women in the country and in their Arab and Islamic environment, given that they have been pioneers in several moments that have marked the country's history, such as the demonstrations in rejection of the tyranny of the Ben Ali regime, as well as in the construction of a democratic country, participating massively in the legislative and presidential elections of 2014 and in the municipal elections of 2018. The author's interest is not only to make Tunisian women known, but rather to delve into the Tunisian experience through a detailed study that meets our expectations. Therefore, the situation of Tunisian women in different aspects such as political, social, economic, etc., has been polemicised in order to make the image that we are used to drawing more complex. This book, not only remains in the academic field, but also gives way to orient new lines of social research on the position of women seen from various points of view and the challenges they face.
