ABSTRACT
Beginning in the early 1980s, Moroccan feminist authors started rewriting Moroccan national history as part of their struggle for equality. They challenged women’s exclusion from dominant historiographies of the national struggle for independence, introduced women into this historiography and represented national heroines as feminist ones. At the beginning of the 1990s, when some of their demands for equality in law and in practice had been met, their historiography was also incorporated into the hegemonic narrative. Against the background of this social and political context, how ought we to understand feminist historiography in Morocco? How do we understand the incorporation of women into dominant historiography?
