  Takes a gendered approach to labor conflicts, anticolonial struggles, and citizenship in modern Lebanon. Challenging the assumptions about culturally inscribed roles for Middle Eastern women, this book highlights traditions of public activism and militancy among rural women that are in turn adapted to the spaces of the French Tobacco Monopoly.
