Nada Elia- Falastiniyyat: A Century of Palestinian Feminisms

Join author Nada Elia as she shares the history of Palestinian women's resistance in her new book, Falastiniyyat!
About this Event

Women have been central to every phase of Palestinian resistance. In this book, Nada Elia recovers the long-suppressed story of Palestinian women’s organizing from 1929 to the present. Far from being a Western import, local feminism consistently linked personal empowerment with collective liberation, anticolonial struggle with social transformation.

Nada Elia is a diasporic Palestinian scholar and activist whose work, both in the classroom and the streets, focuses on exposing and redressing structural systems of oppression. She is the author of Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts: Feminism, Inter/Nationalism, and Palestine. Nada is a founding member of the Palestinian Feminist Collective, and currently serves on its Coordinating Committee.
