This book explores women’s obedience and resistance analyzing two women rebels who live on the social and geographical margins, in the Negev Desert in Israel. She examines their conscious and political transformation and exposes the challenges and sacrifices women experience on their path toward liberation.

The book explores the story of two women living in remote town Mitzpe Ramon, in the Negev Desert in south Israel. These women lived in poverty and worked under oppressive conditions for all their lives until one day they began to resist. Standing for the rights of working women and mothers, they led protests and strikes that shook the entire country for weeks.

In An Anatomy of Feminist Resistance: Rebel in the Wilderness, Dahan Kalev’s innovative perspective examines both the public and private spheres of these woman’s lives and reveals the existence of a third sphere in which women are able to find their voices. This study deciphers what causes women to accept conditions of oppression, under what circumstances will women begin to resist, and what are the political transformations rebellious women undergo while fighting oppression.

Henriette Dahan Kalev is professor emeritus of political science at the Ben Gurion University
