I thought you might be interested in a recent report I wrote on the
role played by young women in the uprisings and their aftermath
throughout the Arab region.  Unveiling the Revolutionaries:
Cyberactivism and the Role of Women in the Arab Uprisings (
http://www.bakerinstitute.org/publications/ITP-pub-CyberactivismAndWomen-051712.pdf/view
), published today by the Baker Institute at Rice University, is the
first scholarly analysis of how young women used social media and
cyberactivism to help shape the “Arab Spring” and its aftermath. It
argues that women's engagement with social media has coincided with a
shift in the political landscape of the Middle East, and it is unlikely
that they will ever retreat from the new arenas they have carved out for
themselves because they have reconfigured the public sphere in their
countries, as well as the expectations of the public about the role
women can and should play in the political lives of their countries.
 
Hope you find of interest.
 
Best,
