Fatema Mernissi

AKA 賮丕胤賲丞 丕賱賲乇賳賷爻賷

Mernissi was born into a middle-class family. She received her primary education in a school established by the nationalist movement, and secondary level education in an all-girls school funded by the French protectorate. In 1957, she studied political science at the Sorbonne and at Brandeis University, where she earned her doctorate. She returned to work at the Mohammed V University and taught at the Facult茅 des Lettres between 1974 and 1981 on subjects such as methodology, family sociology and psycho-sociology. She has become noted internationally mainly as an Islamic feminist.

As an Islamic feminist, Mernissi was largely concerned with Islam and women's roles in it, analyzing the historical development of Islamic thought and its modern manifestation. Through a detailed investigation of the nature of the succession to Muhammad, she cast doubt on the validity of some of the hadith (sayings and traditions attributed to him), and therefore the subordination of women that she saw in Islam, but not necessarily in the Qur'an.

As a sociologist, Mernissi did fieldwork mainly in Morocco. On several occasions in the late 1970s and early 1980s she conducted interviews in order to map prevailing attitudes to women and work. She did sociological research for UNESCO and ILO as well as for the Moroccan authorities. In the late 1970s and in the 1980s Mernissi contributed articles to periodicals and other publications on women in Morocco and women and Islam from a contemporary as well as from a historical perspective.

In 2003, Mernissi was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award along with Susan Sontag.

Mernissi was a lecturer at the Mohammed V University of Rabat and a research scholar at the University Institute for Scientific Research, in the same city.

Fatema begins her book by narrating the story of
The Lady with the Feather Dress mentioned in the The Arabian Nights .she tells it from her grandmother's perspective who changed the end, that instead of living happily ever after , that lady left her husband and went back to her island home , as she was deprived from her wings,the main message is that a woman should lead her life ,. She should be ready to move, the tale teaches, that love can engulf and imprison you 鈥�
She is impressed by the wisdom of her grandmother,who has always encouraged her to leave her country,and try to learn from other cultures,she uses her Sufi heritage to help her be patient and open to learn鈥︹€�

With the knowledge of other cultures we can compare ourselves to others, and came to gain better understanding of ourselves鈥�.
she was referring also to the storytelling which was away to escape censorship on written works ....
And that oral heritage has been a record for a lot of traditions that has a very powerful effect......
She thinks that men are irresistibly attracted to independent women and fall deeply in love with them, but are always terrified of being abandoned......
And that is why men used to imprison women.....
As they recognize their uncontrollable force.....
She then move to another point which is Western representations of Scheherazade in ballet, Hollywood movies and paintings ....

Which was completely different from the eastern point of view
As she was seen as intelligent an smart woman who has succeeded in saving many women from death.......
Her ability to penetrate Shahriyar's brain by using the power of her stories.......
She was using her wisdom to get control over him.....
And get him repent killing all those brides......
She sees her as woman of a particular political role who was rescuing her own life for stopping all this killing......
She didn鈥檛 see her as an oppressed sexual object......
As if she was so ,she would have been killed at her first night, like the others........
She was having the role of a psychiatrist who was trying to heal his patient's wounds.....
She was trying to say by her stories that you are not the only man who has been betrayed......


in Fatema's journey of searching,Jack her friend, was guiding her and advised her to read Kant's books,she was shocked to know that he sees that the knowledge decrease women charm and attractiveness,he thinks that a learned woman "might as well even have a beard. "
also the same idea was mentioned in some of Moli猫re plays.....
she accompanied Jack on a walking tour of his favorite odalisques, from Ingres to Matisse, she wanted to know why Ingres was portraying them so nude and powerless although they actually dressed like men ,and was very powerful and have a great authority and control over men,and that that place was a scene of many conspiracies鈥nd a dangerous site for struggle.......
she said that one of the European Travelers was amazed when he sneaks a peek over on of the Turkish harem and saw that they were dressed like men......
here she focuses on how art can signify a culture,and result in a Social stigma .......

She also differentiate between different Islamic cultures,saying that Turkish women were having control over their men, and gave examples of famous powerful women in different cultures,like Empress of the Mughal Empire , Nur Jahan who was the best tiger haunter......

She ended her book with a story she told about herself,in a trip to a designer's shop in New York,she didn鈥檛 find her size in the store,she thinks that western women are pressured to be at size 6 , which limits value and visibility of women to an image of a certain kind of 14-year-old girl,she sees this as a new oppression and enslavement and the western harem,this situation makes her lose her self confidence,but she comforted her self by remembering how she was praised in her country for having those heavy hips......

I wanna tell u Ms. Rantisi that this is not existing any more,eastern men are now obsessed with skinny blonde girls....
u are talking about something from the past!!!

Scheherazade, the heroine of the Arabian Nights, is the basis of Mernissi's treatise about the differences in misogyny between Europeans and Arabs. It is an interesting concept and having read Mernissi's memoir about her own childhood days in a harem, it gave me a lot of extra context as well. So what are the differences? Are they comparable?

According to Mernissi, Scheherezade is celebrated as a feminist icon in the Arab world. She used her wit and intelligence to keep the despot king entertained and saved the life of countless other women. This is a cold-blooded strategy that could not be easily done if Scheherezade had been considered emotionally unstable as women were commonly portrayed in the west. However, this raises up other questions, especially where Mernissi praises the king's transformation.

A violent despot acknowledges that dialogue with his wife changed his entire world view, has inspired many famous twentieth-century Arab writers to grant Scheherazade, and by extension all women, the status of civilizing agents. Peace and serenity will replace violence in men鈥檚 intentions and deeds, predicted the influential Egyptian thinker Taha Hussein, if they are redeemed by a woman鈥檚 love.

This is just what women don't want to do. We are not agents for redeeming men. This is really feminism 101, and I am surprised Mernissi uses such an argument. It's basically saying women can survive if they put all their time and energy into making men better. Why is this a woman's job? No, thanks. Women's 'rights' like this, I can do without.

One of the major differences between Arab misogyny European misogyny is that European women are expected to not have a brain. The entire trope of 'women can't do maths' is a typical western concept that is not seen anywhere else. Mernissi discusses this idea in detail and makes some very good points. She points out that women leaders are accepted easily in many Islamic countries. The same actually also goes for India, Africa, and other non-Islamic countries. A woman doesn't have to dress up or behave like a man to lead.

Mernissi also points out that while political power is still very much in the hands of men, women often are omnipresent in the scientific and technological fields in Islamic and eastern countries. It is definitely true that in India, taking up science is considered the best way for a girl to become independent of the mandatory forced-arranged marriage that would otherwise be soon thrust upon her.

Mernissi then goes on to discuss sexist European philosophers and artists. But does this make Arabs any less sexist? She kept insisting that Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres painting passive harem women is equal to Ingres having a harem himself. This is a ridiculous theory and I found her complete confusion over why his wife was not upset over him 'taking another woman in his harem' very embarrassing. While Ingres' paintings may have a sexist element, a real harem with women being pretty much locked up is a horror that Ingres' wife did not have to deal with. A painting is not a mistress. I found this theory ridiculous.

She also focuses completely on Ingres' Turkish slave women and fails to take some other western art into account. There are plenty of paintings of Jeanne d'Arc, portrayed as a warrior woman, which in fact, she was. Anne Boleyn, hunting alongside her husband, is also a very popular 16th century portrait. Sor Juana, a Spanish nun, is depicted in front of a book, obviously a thinking scholar. By selectively choosing Ingres' Turkish odalisques as the sole reference point, Mernissi makes a point that falls a bit flat. Especially when she misses an important point: European colonisation.

The author is confused why western men portray Turkish harem women as passive and submissive. This is definitely sexist but might also have to do more with colonising and white supremacy attitudes than them wanting a harem or that western culture didn't produce portraits of active women. It's the idea that Arab / Turkish women are passive slaves that drive these portrayals. The effects of colonisation on gender relations is hardly touched upon, and I personally think that a lot of modern attitudes in the east stem back to colonisation and 'reclaiming our old way of life' which has stunted growth in many countries. Then there is the fact that colonisation led to the abolition of several types of misogyny but brought in different ones at the same time. The suppression of communist activists in Islamic countries by western powers in the mid 1900s also led in large part to the fanaticism that suppresses women. Mernissi skips these discussions completely.

I also disagree with her idea that Muslim men consider women their equals. I hardly need to point out the systemic repressions enforced through religious means that Islam, like all other religions, allows men to systematically enforce gendered laws and customs. In the same sentence, Mernissi contradicts herself here. Women, like Christians or Jews, are considered to be the equal of men in Islam, even though they are granted a minority status that restricts their legal rights and denies them access to the decision-making process. Women in most Islamic nations can participate in their countries鈥� respective decision-making bodies, but only indirectly. How are women equal if they aren't, in fact, actually equal?

Ultimately, Mernissi does get to the gist of the matter with this timeless question: What kind of revolution, I wonder, do we need to make men dream of self-assertive independent women as the epitome of beauty? And this is a question all cultures need to ponder.

I wasn't sure what to make of this at first, but I rather like it. It's playful and a bit tongue-in-cheek, but also a sly allegory of sexual politics East and West. Mernissi uses the occasion of an author tour promoting her "Dreams of Trespass" to talk about Western v. Eastern views of the harem and of harem women. She plays the role of the slightly naive visitor trying to ask why Western artists and authors insist on portraying the women of Turkish and Arab harems as silent, yet habitually unclad. She points out that the harem inmates of Arab legend--- say, the concubines and slave girls in the "Thousand and One Nights" ---are valued for their intelligence and poetic skills, and that the caliphs and sultans of folklore fall in love with women who can challenge them at chess rather merely offer up decorative complaisance.

Women in Islam, she writes, are controlled spatially--- confined within physical borders (the harem, the veil) established by men. Women in the West are confined by something else, by the ability of men to value them only for beauty. Mernissi reminds her readers that Islamic (male) society understands and fears the power of the self-assured, intelligent woman, and confines that power within literal walls. The Western world simply denies that women can embody any kind of power not based in physical beauty, and confines women by defining them as silent. She leaves it to the reader to decide which is more cruel in the long run.

A lovely and playful look into the anthropology of gender relations derived from art (painting first and foremost, but literature as well). How was the harem (and the women within it) perceived in the West vs. how it was perceived in the Arab world.

The author deliciously takes us through various musings and analysis through storytelling, like a modern-day Scheherezade, just like the classic heroine she discusses at some point. She touches on some very valid points (like the Orientalization of the Western male gaze on the harem women and so on), but some other points feel a bit like over-generalizations (such as the idea that in the West intelligence in women is antithetical to attractiveness).

All in all, it's a wonderful read and a good intro for Western and Arabic art anthropologies.

While it is possible to read this book prior to reading , I would recommend reading Dreams first.

This book looks at the idea of the harem from the Western male view, something which confuses Mernissi because her view of the harem is radically different (and more accurate). Her conclusions, in particular in regards to what a Western is, are interesting.

Mernissi wrote this book after her book tour through Europe and America for another of her books - Dreams of Trespass: Tales of a Harem Girlhood. She's a sociologist and a great storyteller - taking after Scheherazade herself. This book is a study of the West's perception of the Middle East, and how that perception brings into sharper focus Western values. For example, she spends a lot of time exploring the Western man's obsession and fantasy of the harem. She debunks the myth of the harem by comparing its Eastern purpose (a defined space that houses women and children and separates them from men) with the Western man's projections of the harem being a pleasure house (where scantily clad women are always available to satisfy their every need). She also discusses the importance of travel to understand people of other cultures, and in doing so, come to a better understanding of yourself (something she did while on her book tour). All this is cleverly weaved in with discussions about some of the famous 1001 Nights tales.

Fatema Mernissi鈥檚 novel explores the imagery and sexual ideology of harems in both the west and the east. Mernissi illustrates the sharp contrast of the western and eastern harems (the western harem being one of ideology rather than physical presence) while also analyzing the differing sexual attitudes, depiction, and behaviors of the west and the east.

Mernissi explains that Muslim harems do not hinge upon excessive sexualization and submission as those harems imagined by the west, but rather for the 鈥渞eal or imagined Muslim harems, cerebral confrontation with women is necessary to achieve orgasm鈥� (26). In other words women of the Muslim harems are not subservient sex slaves, rather the woman take an active part in the sexual male vs female dichotomy were intelligence is both expected and necessary. This of course contrasts the western harem were intelligence is seen as a hindrance to beauty.

Where, as Mernissi explains, 鈥淪cheherazade commands words, not armies, to transform her situation鈥� the women of the western harem command nothing (51). Western harems lack the 鈥渃erebral confrontation鈥� so present and essential in the Muslim harems leaving behind mindless woman with no cognition or will. For the west an intelligent women is, not so much damaged goods as mutated; to clarify a woman is not damaged by her intelligence (unlike, for example, when losing her virginity) but mutated into a creature of thought and there for not a being of beauty. In short 鈥渁 woman who dares to be intelligent is punished on the spot: She is ugly鈥� (91) and as the sole value of a woman lies in her beauty to be an ugly woman is to become useless, repulsive-untouchable. But why is female intelligence so different in the east and west?

Like ideas of modesty and beauty harems reflect attitudes of female sexuality and dichotomy 鈥渋n the Orient, men use space to dominate women . . . but in the Occident, men dominate women by unveiling what beauty ought to be. And if you don鈥檛 look like the picture they unveil, you are doomed鈥� (112). For the Orient it is not the women鈥檚鈥� sexuality and sensuality that are the sole factors (though sexual appeal certainly cannot be denied an large role) of feminine beauty rather the ability to use one intelligence to face and solve problems, and even challenge their male counterparts, adds to a woman鈥檚 beauty. The West, on the other hand, seems echoes the Khant鈥檚 philosophy: that for a woman to be beautiful she must also be mindless and passive; an object rather than a human being. By controlling what beauty is defined as men can control what woman can and cannot be. If beauty is to be unintelligent and subservient then woman are denied or discouraged from certain subjects and activities (e.g. only boys are good at math).

Mernissi鈥檚 novel raises important questions about the depiction sexuality in harems and the gender dichotomy, thus leaving readers to (hopefully) consider how the effects both the male-female dichotomy and sexualization of women shape their lives, understanding, and society.

Excellent analysis of how Muslim and Western men view women (specifically harem women, but also women in general). Great not only for analyzing gender relations in the West, but also cultural differences. I felt that the author stereotyped individuals in each culture, but her observations about each culture were spot on. (Or, at least her observations about gender relations in Western culture were. But someone who can figure out so much about Western culture from the outside can probably make equally true observations about her own culture from the inside.) Here are some of my favorite quotes:

鈥溾€橧 do not know what goes on in the minds of Western men,鈥� [Mernissi's Moroccan friend Kemal] would say. 鈥楢ll I can tell you is that they would have built harems, too, if they saw women as an uncontrollable force. Could it be that in their fantasies, Westerners imagine women without wings? Who knows?鈥欌€� p 8

鈥淸Immanuel] Kant鈥檚 message is quite basic: Femininity is the beautiful, masculinity is the sublime. The sublime is, of course, the capacity to think, to rise higher than the animal and the physical world. And you鈥檇 better keep the distinction straight, because a woman who dares to be intelligent is punished on the spot: She is ugly. [鈥 The philosopher鈥檚 frontier does not concern the division of space into private (women) and public (men) realms, but into beauty (women) and intelligence (men). Unlike Harun Ar-Rachid, a caliph who equated beauty with erudition, and paid astronomic sums for the witty jarya in his harem, Kant鈥檚 ideal woman was speechless.鈥� P 91

鈥淗er words sounded so simple, but the threat they implied was so cruel that I realized for the first time that maybe 鈥榮ize 6鈥� is a more violent restriction imposed on women than is the Muslim veil. [鈥 He [The Western man] declares that in order to be beautiful, a woman must look fourteen years old. If she dare to look fifty, or worse, sixty, she is beyond the pale. [鈥 In fact, the modern Western man enforces Immanuel Kant鈥檚 nineteenth-century theories: To be beautiful, women have to appear childish and brainless. When a woman looks mature and self-assertive, or allows her hips to expand, she is condemned as ugly.鈥� P 213-214

This is a great book to refer to when caught up in a heated discussion about the perception of women in the west vs. the east. This book almost takes us to private rooms through time and space and in which the dynamics between men and women are more easily understood.

Scheherazade is ultimately the storyteller (with samar; the ability to speak softly in the darkness and open up incredibly rich veins of feeling) - she is a super communicator who could change the mind of a criminal and save not only herself but also an entire kingdom by slowly changing the mind of the chief decision-maker, the king. But Scheherazade's presence in the west is silenced, and she is limited to being a pretty passive girl who does not even speak. Mernissi is critical of the Muslim man's genuine fear of the woman (the other), but she is as critical, if not even more so, of the western man's insistence that what makes a woman feminine and beautiful is her quietness, lack of knowledge, dependence and eternal youth. "What kind of revolution do we need, to make men dream of self-assertive independent women as the epitome of beauty?"

Slightly repetitive at moments but nonetheless quite fascinating. The central question of the book, one could say, is why do Western men smile when they hear the word harem? And what does this tell us about the differences in gender relations in different places? It's a short, fairly quick read, and an interesting one. And I'm definitely going to add a few chapters to the readings the next time I'm teaching orientalism!

A Harem, almost always, invokes images of a place filled with beautiful women, naked, sensual, and luxurious. A place where many men (And some women of course, depending on your sexual orientation) see as a paradise. Such images date back from many orientalist artists and are still dominant in today鈥檚 popular culture. Yet, to put it simply, a harem of women is a place where women are sexual captives and slaves. The place itself might be built to look pretty, but the concept of it is vile. Yet the image and representation of the 鈥渉arem鈥� remains a powerful tool of today鈥檚 culture. Nevertheless, there seems to be two general conceptions of the harem, one that is a 鈥渨estern鈥�, where even the women seem to enjoy such place, and one 鈥渙riental鈥�, or 鈥渓ocal鈥�, where the women there, are fully aware of their captive state installed upon them by the men. This is the main depart of this by the Moroccan feminist and Muslim (both are equally important to her) sociologist Fatima Mernissi. The book鈥檚 title in the foreign market is known as 鈥淪cheherazade Goes West鈥�. Two major events lead Mernissi on a personal investigation on this contradictory representation of the Harem in the 鈥渨est鈥� as a place of immense pleasure where the women are content of being there, even though they are captives. Mernissi, who herself was born in a harem in Morocco, was shocked when foreign journalists where smiling upon pronouncing the word 鈥渉arem鈥� when asking her about it during a book tour in Europe. How can a place of repression be comical? The second event happened in a bookshop in Berlin. She noticed someone buying a book on the tales of 鈥淎 Thousand Night and a Night鈥�, and on the cover, a portrait of a naked Scheherazade being sensual with overly disproportionate body parts, how an 鈥渙riental woman鈥� looks like. Scheherazade, who was held captive in the tale and had to use her wits to survive, was nothing but an unreal representation of a woman here.

You see, the book isn鈥檛 specifically a study on historical masculine domination per se (even though it is key here). It is on the powerful effect of projecting unrealistic images of another person, her being the 鈥渙riental women鈥�, thus reducing them to objects and any suffering they had. If you walk into any museum in Europe and wandering into any section about oriental art, you will notice that the portrayals of the harem there and of oriental women are identical. Not only by transforming the place to a place of pleasure, but even by constructing an exotic image of the oriental woman, thus making the 鈥渨estern鈥� woman as the real standard of beauty, and anything else would be inferior. This exotic portrayal is still powerful even today with lots of films, music, works of art, and I don鈥檛 mean only the old one ones. But even new ones coming out today. On the other hand, Mernissi takes also about the conception of a harem in the 鈥渙rient鈥�. Women in such places are portrayed more realistically. They are fully aware that such a place holds them captive, and it鈥檚 not the paradise. True that the effect of making a harem more seductive exists even in the 鈥渙rient鈥�, even today, but it doesn鈥檛 get the imaginary treatment of a 鈥渨estern鈥� audience鈥� She speaks of all these points through thorough historical and cultural investigation while mixing elements of her personal story, which makes this book delightful to read.

Nevertheless, as much as I enjoyed reading this book, I have one major issue with. As much as Mernissi tackles very well the representation of women and harem as unrealistic in the 鈥渨est鈥�, it鈥檚 the whole dichotomy of 鈥渨est鈥� and 鈥渙rient鈥� that at times seemed to generalist for me, at other, unrealistic. For instance, when she says 鈥渨e the Orientals鈥� or 鈥渢he western man鈥�, it鈥檚 really hard at times to pin down what both terms mean. Each one, in a sense, contributes to creating an image of the other that鈥檚 far from reality. When she speaks of the 鈥渙rient鈥� here, her experience is clearly limited to 鈥渢he Muslim鈥� and 鈥淎rab鈥� world. However, historically speaking, the term 鈥渙rient鈥� was also used to refer to further away places such as Japan, China, India鈥� and in such places you鈥檒l have completely unrealistic representation of women by outsiders. But even if we say these outsiders are 鈥渢he west鈥� , while trying to brake this conception of the 鈥渨est鈥� down, we鈥檒l stumble upon the same issues. 鈥淥rient鈥� and 鈥淲est鈥� seem to be nothing more than just representations. But who is representing who?

That said, this is a very interesting read and I really recommend it to anyone interested in cultural studies and feminism, especially intersectional feminism. Culture is a powerful tool, and alas, culture can make something as atrocious as a harem appear as a paradise.
