| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Islamic activism of women, particularly, in the Islamic movements seems to be strange from the perspectives of the thinkers who view suspiciously towards everything attached with Islam and who perceive Islam to be radically oppressive to women, sticking to rigid ideologies which prescribe for them a subordinate role. However, despite the fact that women’s presence in the Islamic movements and parties, so far, has not resulted in an influential or vocal role for women in their parties yet their presence is neither insignificant nor unsuccessful. |
