Nicola collected over one hundred personal narratives from middle class women activists of different generations. The article includes the rise of radical movements after 1967, the counter-revolution (post-1967), and re-popularizing and de-popularizing women's rights after 2011.

    This article talks about how women were in ancient Egypt. Women were given rights although a little disproportionate but they were treated well. Women had rights to own property, divorce their husbands, and inherit the property their deceased husbands owned.
