Morocco
Description
Aicha Belarbi of Morocco is professor of sociology at the University of Rabat. Though educated at French schools for the daughters of the elite, she was subject to the restrictions imposed on girls. Professor Belarbi has written books about gender roles, child welfare, women and power, and the modern Muslim woman. One of her projects is to foster literacy among the women of Morocco, especially in the neglected rural areas. Along with her progressive outlook, she believes strongly in the importance of traditional family ties of which her own close-knit family is an example.
