In this article, the author deals with the question of the rights of Arab women in the actual international context characterized by the political changes and the societal transitions in the Arab-Muslim world. Inspired by Crane Brinton’s cyclical theory of revolution and by a return to history, and distancing himself from ideological cynicism, the author shows that “revolutions” have often been the source of infringements on the rights of women, despite the sacrifices made by these women to enable the “revolutionary event” to succeed.
