About This Item
Columbia University Press, 1993. Book. Good. Soft cover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Large trade paperback. 206 pages. Bibliographical References, Bibliography, Index. First edition, first printing with full number line. This book examines the seemingly contradictory behaviors of lower class working women in Cairo, who, though becoming increasingly part of the modern outside-the-home workforce have nevertheless chosen to adopt the reactionary symbolism of the hijob and the traditional Islamist ideology of subordination it implies. Underlining and brief marginal marking throughout. No previous owner's name; no spine crease. From the private library of a Middle Eastern historian. A sound, tight, but for moderate underling otherwise clean copy. Good or better. .
