The querelle the femmes spells the rhythms of Egyptian modern history, where a patriarchal understanding of gender relations, permeating both the European (colonial and orientalist) and the indigenous (national) cultural discourses, is incessantly challenged by women’s cultural and political agency. This dynamics of resistance against the patriarchal power emerged clearly since 2011, when revolutionary women and men joined the forces and challenged the neo-patriarchal political leadership of two Presidents (Mubarak in 2011, and Morsi in 2013), of the Army, and the Islamists. The Egyptian Revolution initiated a new generation of Egyptian women to political “disobedience”, and is creating a fresh grassroots feminist culture, but its roots date back to the end of the XIX century. Grounded on previous historical research, and based on extensive fieldwork (interviews and participant observation), this paper will look at the new emerging feminism, and at feminists practices of resistance against neo-patriarchal interpretations of political power. In particular, I will look at both those well established and rooted subjects – such as women NGO, prominent feminist intellectuals – as well as new informal feminist groups (feminist reading groups, emerging young feminist activists), and especially those emerging far from the main historical centers of urban feminism in Egypt, investigating the trajectories of new groups in the peripheral areas and their attitudes towards the complex relationship between gender and politics. Through the analysis of a selection of case studies, I argue that feminism is the continuing revolution in Egypt, and I study its impact on the whole society.
