This paper answers important questions about causes for which Arab women fought, ideologies in which they believed, manners by which they expressed their agency, and strategies through which they utilized space and mobilized followers. As for demands, and in addition to challenging the status quo and fighting against totalitarian regimes, Arab women fought for their political, economic, legal and social rights. Sexual rights were also among the causes for which women fought to curb patriarchal and social structures’ long oppression of women, children and sexual minorities. Likewise, ideologies and beliefs are among the most important resources that social movement actors mobilize to influence the masses. Motivated by their own convictions of how things should be, or what is fair or equitable, women internalized their commitment to gender legal equality, nonviolence, secularism, religiosity, and feminism. Although some were influenced by Western political, gender or economic ideological trends, most women’s beliefs were embedded in the socio-political environment in which they lived and against which they protested. The ways women expressed their agency were diverse. Arab women applied creative means and cultural nuances to advocate for social change. While tweets and graffiti became popular forms of self-expression during the Arab Spring, other women expressed their activism through drawing, music, film-making, photography, and poetry. They also utilized space strategically to Mobilize. Arab women navigated numerous alternative spaces to make their claim and build their movements away from power centers. Finally, how women organized matters. The debate in the social movement literature on whether disruptive tactics are more likely to have an impact than moderate actions is far from consensual. While disruptive tactics are more likely to produce comprehensive change, they are harder to organize and achieve. Alternatively, moderate actions, such as negotiations and calls for reform, are easier to achieve but less likely to produce a significant impact. Women’s activism during the Arab Spring varied tremendously in context and consequences. Some organized widely to challenge authorities and modify oppressive norms; others focused on changing regimes. Women organized to build alliances, launch campaigns, seek reform, and sustain social and political change.
