      abstract = {This book explores the politics of organized Muslim women  in Turkey and analyzes their coalitions with othersecular  feminist, Kurdish, etc.womens movements from an  intersectional perspective. It provides empirical evidence  for significant changes in Muslim womens politics under the  ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and points to  the increasing difficulty to build cross-movement womens  coalitions in the face of rising religious-conservatism and  authoritarianism under the AKP rule. While feminist Muslim  women who display an intersectional understanding of  structural inequality and oppression are found to be more  resilient in the face of political pressure, conservative  Muslim women dodge womens coalitions and align with the  governments discourses and policies. Empirical evidence  based on interviews with organized Muslim women also shows  that prospects for coalition building largely depends on  the specific societal and institutional (re-)configurations  of patriarchy along with other relations of domination  rather than mere ideological "difference" among women. This  book will be of interest to scholars and students across  Gender Studies, Sociology, and Political Science,  particularly those whose research focuses on  intersectionality and social movements.
