Muslim Women Entrepreneurs
From CEOs to Chicken Vendors
By Shahnaz Taplin-Chinoy
An Arab woman who doesn?t shoot for the moon is an idiot,? says Fatima Mernissi, a Moroccan writer and sociologist in her book Dreams of Trespass. Yet, shooting for the moon takes on new challenges in an era of globalization. Across the Arab world ? Syria, Jordan, Palestine, and Egypt, women from CEOs to chicken vendors shoot for the moon. But they also share something in common with women in other regions; it is often socio-economic realities, not religion or culture, which dictate similar work choices and patterns for women globally.
Globally, economic realities require under-privileged women to work. Middle-class, educated women can afford the choice to work or stay home and raise their kids, while affluent women ? be they Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu ? have a plethora of options.
