	Qasim Amin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Qasim Amin (1863-1908) was an Egyptian jurist, one of the founders of the Egyptian National Movement and Cairo University.
		Qasim Amin pointed out the plight of aristocratic Egyptian women who could be kept as a "prisoner in her own house and worse off than a slave".

	A Century After Qasim Amin
		Qasim Amin (1863-1908) was born into an aristocratic Ottoman family that had ruled in Kurdistan during the mid-19th century and later moved to Alexandria, Egypt, where Amin was born.
		Amin embellished the republican image of women as the nurturers and shapers of the “men of the nation” whose advancement meant that of a whole nation.
		The “civilizing force” which Amin envisaged in the Egyptian nation was predicated on changing the relationship of the dominant male elite toward their women.

		Qasim Amin was born in 1863 to a Turkish Ottoman father and Egyptian mother.
		Amin was also friends with some well known Egyptian nationalist figures, such as Sa`d Zaghlul, who was leader of the Wafd party, which later (in 1919) led the nationalist uprising against Great Britain.
		For his writings on women, Amin was hailed by some as the "father of Egyptian feminism." According to Leila Ahmed, this was not really the case if you look at both his writing and examine the historical context.

		She calls him "the son of [Lord] Cromer [the British Consul General of Egypt] and colonialism," says that his book is the "rearticulation in native voice of the colonial thesis of the inferiority of the native and Muslim," describes him as being contemptuous of Egyptian women, and more.
		Other scholars and contemporaries of Amin have described him otherwise, crediting his enormously influential work with starting a raging debate on issues such as the education of women, veiling, and women's oppression.
		Qasim Amin's views in The Liberation of Woman are pro-woman and feminist.

	Veil of Tears By Lee Smith
		Amin touched off a revolution, and feminism became one of the central tenets of Egypt's influential but brief liberal movement that lasted more or less until Gamal Abdel Nasser's 1952 coup.
		While Amin singled out U.S. society as the most advanced in its treatment of women, he and other liberals were concerned that feminism would be seen as a Western import and rejected out of hand.
		The West is the 800-pound gorilla that Qasim Amin and Hoda Shaarawi tried to write out of the Arab living room by presenting feminism as a local issue with a local history.

		The majority of those offended were women who thought they were able to decide for themselves of what was right and wrong and the opposite sex should not interfere in regards to the defense of their rights.
		Amin did not intend to abolish hijab completely, however he wanted to attack its validity and existence as a practice.
		Amin died in 1908 and was given the title of the first "woman emancipator".

	In Focus
		The rational within which Amin grounded his argument for changing women's position in the Egyptian society was his assumption of the inherent superiority of Western civilization and the inherit backwardness of Muslim societies.
		Ahmed (1992) and Baron (1994) reexamine Amin’s writings and point out that Qasim Amin’s support for women’s liberation arose from his wholehearted embrace of a Western model of development and his desire to emulate the Western gender system.
		While advocates of Western feminism as Qasim Amin and Huda Sh’rawi situated their argument within the European liberal discourse that posited Islam as a reason for women’s oppression and the backwardness of Muslim nations.

		Hussein Amin has predicted in his "Arab Women and Satellite Broadcasting" that this new technology "has the potential to empower Arab women in the exercise of their right to seek and receive information and ideas." (14) His prophecy seems to be starting to materialize and change reality.
		While Amin Hussein, a mass communication expert, gives a technological answer to the question (the satellites' empowerment of women), the artist Hisham Ghanem offers a more sophisticated psychoanalytical explanation-the Arab male's identification with the woman as the victim who is taking revenge on her aggressors.
		Amin Hussein is chairman of the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at the American University in Cairo and has produced impressive work on the topic of new technologies.

	The Development of Hijab
		In Egypt Qasim Amin published Tahrir al-Mar'ah (the liberation of the woman) in 1899, called for an end to female seclusion, which he demonstrated had nothing to do with Islam.
		Amin also called for an end to face veiling (niqab), which likewise had nothing to do with Islam.
		The outcry against Amin was intense because of his status as a male Muslim and respected judge who not only insisted that his views conformed with Islam, but also used secular arguments.

		A closer look reveals that Amin called, not for feminist reforms, but rather for a fundamental social and cultural change for Egypt and other Muslim countries, a Europeanization of Arab culture as it were, in which women's issues were embedded.
		Amin's text also assumed and declared the inherent superiority of Western civilization and the inherent backwardness of Muslim societies: he wrote that anyone familiar with "the East" had observed "the backwardness of Muslims.
		Ahmed notes that Amin's book, the debate it generated, and the issues of class and tradition with which the debate became inscribed, may be regarded as the precursor and prototype of the debate around the veil (Ahmed 1992: 164).

	History of feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Feminist movement in the Arab world saw Egyptian jurist Qasim Amin, the author of the 1899 pioneering book Women's Liberation (Tahrir al-Mar'a), as the father of Arab Feminist Movement.
		In his work Amin criticized some of the practices prevalent in his society at the time, such as polygamy, the veil, or women's segregation, and condemned them as un-Islamic, and contradicting the true spirit of Islam.
		Less known, however, are the women who preceded Amin in their feminist critique of their societies.

		The book, which outlined Amin’s claims that the education and liberation of women was essential to strengthen and emancipate the Egyptian nation from British colonial rule, resulted from his travels to and studies in Europe, where he observed the role of women in Western society.
		Leila Ahmed, an Islamic scholar and professor at the Harvard Divinity School, agrees that Amin bases his arguments on a comparison with the West, in which the West is refined, cultured, and advanced, and the East is not.
		Leila Ahmed, author of Women and Gender in Islam, asserts that one of the only elements of Qasim Amin’s The Liberation of Women (1899) that was considered scandalous was his call for the abolition of the veil.

		In my judgement the importance of engaging in a serious theological discussion of women-related issues in Islam today is paramount to liberate not only Muslim women but also Muslim men from unjust structures and laws that make a peer relationship between men and women impossible.
		It is good to know that in the last hundred years there have been at least two significant Muslim thinkers — Qasim Amin from Egypt and Mumtaz ‘Ali from India — who have been staunch advocates of women’s rights.
		Amin’s romantic interpretation of the myth, reminiscent of Milton’s, shows that he did not realize how fundamentally the issue that concerned him most deeply, namely, woman’s social equality with man in a strongly male-centered and male-dominated Muslim society, hinged upon acceptance or rejection of the creation story and its anti-women interpretation.
