"The challenge to achieve democracy with full human rights for women as citizens in Egypt and elsewhere, by extension, is the greatest strength of Botman’s work. She argues that democratic transformation must occur at every level of society from the family to the state, which can explain why Egypt’s considerable feminist activism has yielded uneven results." — Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban, Rhode Island College
