It is often assumed that modern feminism has no place, and thus can make little headway, in societies undergoing a religious revival, particularly in the Islamic world. But the real progress made in recent years on women’s rights in Morocco suggests otherwise: a unique combination of activism by secular and religious women, the calculations of political parties, and a significant role for the King has led to real progress.
人们常常想当然地认为现代女权主义在宗教复兴的社会、特别是伊斯兰世界没有立足之地，所以也不可能取得任何进展。但是摩洛哥近年来妇女权利的进步表明情况恰恰相反：世俗和宗教妇女的激进思想、各政党的考虑算计和国王发挥的重大作用这三种因素巧妙的融合起来，共同促成了这种实质性的进步。
