Description
Join the African Studies Program for our weekly Wednesday lecture series!

The rural women in the highly traditional societies of the Siwa oasis, Upper Egypt, and Nubia live according to centuries-old traditions. However, veiling and other such traditions do not push women to the sidelines in these communities; instead, rural women play an active role in their village societies and are highly respected and valued.
