ABSTRACT
The previous chapter discussed women’s agency manifest within the Brotherhood and in wider society. It also discussed the way the Brotherhood shaped and responded to changing power relations in society, politics and government from the 1930s up to the period following the demise of Mubarak. This chapter traces the development of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political thought on gender issues, with a focus on matters that have been raised in the movement’s scholarship and official stances. These include gender identities and roles, marital relations, education and work, political leadership and sexual politics.
