ABSTRACT
In recent decades, intellectual interest in women’s issues has increased,
especially since the ‘‘feminist revolution’’ of the 1960s. Women moved from
the traditional positions in which they were restricted (housework, children
education, transmission of traditional values, and the preservation of family
cohesion) to sectors traditionally occupied by men (media, business, and
security forces). Therefore, it became crucial for scholars to survey and to
analyze this transformation from sociological and political perspectives.
