Sakakini's work reflects the transformations of Arab societies since the beginning of the 20th century, particularly the changing gender roles. This study shows how she took globally circulating feminist concerns, translated them into her local contexts, and rooted them in Arab-Islamic history. As an "Arab feminist," being both a feminist and a Muslima went together well for her. Taking her life as an example of a transnational biography, this study further argues that it would be unsatisfactory to reduce her complex affiliations and trajectory, to a mere Islamic, secular or Syrian identity.
