      abstract = {This book discusses Egyptian Muslim womens dress as the  social, political and ideological signifier of the changing  attitudes towards Western modernity. It employs womens  clothing styles as a feminist act that provides rich  insights into the power and limits of legal regulations and  hegemonic discourses in constructing gendered and cultural  borders in the modern Egyptian public sphere. Furthermore,  through highlighting marginalized but significant models  and historical moments of cultural exchange between Muslim  and Western cultures through female dress, the book tells a  third story beyond the binary model of an assumed modest  oppressed traditional Muslim woman vis--vis consumer  emancipated modern Western woman in mainstream Western  discourse and literary representation.
