The role of Women in the Palestinian Society under the British Occupation (1917-1948)

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the important roles that Palestinian women exercised under the British occupation, and to clarify the political positions of Palestinian women towards the British occupation.
 The study aimed to shed light on women's resistance to the British occupation through supplying the revolutionaries with weapons and equipment, and identify their cultural and media role in the Palestinian society.
 The study concludes with several results, the most important of which are: the development of the role of the Palestinian women's movement in resisting the British occupation, participating in demonstrations, and sending messages to protest against the policy of the British occupation. Finally, the study recommends increasing attention to the role of Palestinian women in the Palestinian society and conducting studies on the role of Palestinian women under the Israeli occupation.
