Abstract

This chapter discusses women’s participation in political life that has reached a significant magnitude during the Arab Spring compared to previous periods. Exemplified by the letters of a young Egyptian revolutionary Samiha Razek, the chapter aims to show the transformations of protest moods that are expressed through the Internet and are sometimes inextricably connected to it. The chapter aims to show that during the Arab Spring manifestations in Egypt the struggle for real political participation went beyond the traditional cultural and gender patterns of political mobilization.
