Despite the long and active history that goes back to the early 1940s, Jordanian women's movement today is witnessing a phase of real renaissance. Main features of this phase include some radical shifts in working agendas (from need- to right-based), changes in forms of activism (varying from autonomous to Islamists and other forms state created feminisms), and varying new discourses employed in mobilizing the woman's cause. The phase is also featured by a significant interaction between women's advocates and other social and political actors (mainly the Tribalists and Islamists) who often question the legitimacy of the movement, and the genuine nature of its discourses. To Islamists and Tribalists the women's movement is "elitist", and hence lacks the representation of "everyday" women. To them also issues raised by the women's activists and the discourses employed by resting on the International Women's Agenda are 'imported'; i.e. not relevant to Jordanian women and not sensitive enough to our culture and religion. This paper maps out the women's movement in Jordan ; it follows the different life cycles through which the movement has developed over time, highlights the main issues on the agenda of each cycle; goes over the changes and the shifts occurred along the journey, and the factors shaping such changes. The chapter will also draw emphasis on contemporary forms of women's activisms, their current discourses and their sociopolitical interactions with the state, the Islamists and the Tirbalists.
