In the lead up to the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S. government emphasized how the military intervention would liberate Afghani women from the Taliban, echoing an old colonial discourse that Muslim women need saving. This study reviews the effects of Islamism, especially when it influences political decisions, on women. In particular, the study focuses on whether there is a correlation between rising Islamism and women in civil society in Turkey and Egypt through the variables of political, educational, and employment opportunities.

This study addresses how the role of women in civil society is currently changing in Turkey and Egypt. Chapter II focuses on Turkey. Starting in the late Ottoman period and ending with the rise of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), the chapter reviews how leaders used the position of women to further their own agendas.
The chapter also reviews how a woman's political, educational, and employment status changed depending on which government was in power. Chapter III focuses on Egypt. The early twentieth century's Islamic feminist movement is discussed, as well as how the impact of authoritarian governments affected political freedoms and economic opportunities for women. In Chapter IV, this study reviews primary data for Egypt and Turkey over the last 30 years. It illustrates women's roles in civil society based on political participation, educational enrollment, and overall employment. The study reviews Islamist political position and looks for a correlation between Islamism and the role of women. Chapter IV also touches on other possible factors that relate to women's position in society. Chapter V concludes the study with a discussion of possible correlations between women's place in civil society and political Islamism and possible policy implications.
