Policing Egyptian Women: Sex, Law, and Medicine in Khedival Egypt - Gender and Globalization
Liat Kozma
Delineates the intricate manner in which the modern state in Egypt monitored, controlled, and “policed” the bodies of subaltern women. Some of these women were runaway slaves, others were deflowered outside of marriage, and still others were prostitutes. Kozma traces the effects of nineteenth-century developments on these women who lived at the margins of society.
