Abstract

This work, above all, aims, through bibliographical research, to correct misinterpretations about the role of Muslim women within their own social context. It is intended to show it by identifying social and political advances - as well as legal and theoretical - related to Arab women, which crave for the methodology recognition by Western activists. The feminist movement has its integrity and complexity sometimes hampered by pre-constructed concepts within their own society as well as for others from the outside. Westerners sometimes think they ate capable of solving social and cultural conflict in a completely different society from their own, but what is perceived is that they often end up distorting goals and turning achievements unfeasible. The conclusions presented suggest a greater presence of Islam within society and not its retraction. The essay, therefore, embraces and advocates a "reformed" liberalism that is at the same time committed, feminist, but not secular.
