Sandberg and Aqertit analyze how, over the course of
twenty-five years, dedicated, smart, and politically effective
Moroccan women, working simultaneously in multiple settings and
aware of each other’s work, altered Morocco’s entrenched gender
institution of regularized practices and distinctive rights and
obligations for men and women. In telling the story of these
Moroccan gender activists, Sandberg and Aqertit’s work is of
interest to Middle East and North Africa (MENA) area specialists,
to feminist and gender researchers, and to institutionalist
scholars. Their work operationalizes and offers a template for
studying change in national gender institutions that can be adopted
by practitioners and scholars in other country
settings.
