Palestinian Women and Resistance
Abstract
The study aimed at identifying Palestinian women and resistance. The study approached the literature as a multi-dimensional phenomenon, which addressed both theoretical and applied research. The significance of this recent study is the first, which dealt with this theme, based on the authors' knowledge. This, however, in turn encourages other researchers to work on further research on this important question.The findings revealed that the Palestinian woman has realized the importance and effectiveness of the role of national strugglein the liberation of Palestine; she was able to employ different forms of the struggle in harmony with her own physical, mental, psychological, and spiritual capacities. Palestinian women have actively participated in the national struggle across Palestinian history; she was the mother, the captive, the civilian activist, the fighter, and the suicide martyr (Istishhadiya).
Keywords: Palestinian women, culture, resistance, occupation.
