Iraqi Women in Feminism, Moralism and Urbanism

Abstract

          Iraqi women have experienced an extended history of absolute lack of willpower and dependency. Since around the year of 1850, early changes started with the development of the commercial, real estate, and industrial bourgeoisie, beginning the nucleus of the working class, with women being among its components. Hence, the subsistence economy transformed into market economy. The feminist elite came to being, benefiting from the press a33nd the radio. Among the characteristics of this elite were the influence of television and promotion of education, and is still expanding influenced by the satellite channels and social media. The researchers believe that the year of 2050 (or around then) will witness the entrance of Iraqi women to the third stage; the stage of partnership, and that the entire feminine community will turn into an elite to attain their pursued rights.
