Aprašymas

This book
focuses on the Pukhtun women educational struggle in the traditionalist Pukhtun
society to succeed against the odds in Pukhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The study found
higher education as a mean of women liberation, thus their struggle and
experiences for higher education give them unique position in their patriarchal
culture. The province is culturally more dominant in forming people decisions
than the original teachings of Islam. Strong roots of patriarchy reinforced
religious misinterpretation that 'culturalised' Islam instead of Islamising
their culture in the prevailing society. Both the stories of the book concluded
patriarchy a main cause of women marginalisation which further granted a
fertile ground for Taliban to sketch a strategic atrocity and ban women
education in the name of Islam in the Swat Valley. Patriarchy and
militarization has been used as a tool for cultural governance of identity and
maintenance of gender stratification by sharing common grounds of gender
dynamics and women epistemology under liberal, radical Marxist/socialist,
Islamic feminism and feminist peace and conflicts theories of women security.
