Saghbine, a Christian village: women, religion and society -- Geography and religious spaces -- The childhood and adolescence of young girls -- Marriage and the condition of married women -- Adulthood, married life, and women's work -- Interview -- christian discourse -- Muslim Lebanese women and an Islamic modernity -- Islam in Lebanon: an overview -- Struggle in modern Islam, women in tradition, and the discourse of the veil -- Veiling and divergent feminism voices -- Personal status laws in Islam, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah's tafsir, and Hizbullah Lebanese women -- Interview -- individual and communal perspectives: Muslim discourse -- Transformation within a multicultural lebanon -- Modernity, multiculturalism, and Lebanese women -- Christian-Muslim relations, women and religion -- Lebanese women in all their diversity: convergence and divergence -- En route toward a more inclusive civil society.

Combining insider and outsider perspectives, Women in Lebanon looks at Christian and Muslim women living together in a multicultural society and facing modernity. While the Arab Spring has begun to draw attention to issues of change, modernity, and women's subjectivity, this manuscript takes a unique approach to examining and describing the Lebanese "alternative modernities" thesis and how it has shaped thinking about the meaning of terms like evolution, progress, development, history, and politics in contemporary Arab thought. The author draws on extensive ethnographic research, as well as her own personal experience.
