Abstract
ABSTRACT The women in the Syrian uprising have garnered little attention despite the crucial role Syrians say they play and will play in the future of that country. Through some of the women's stories in this article, there emerges a larger picture of their contribution to the struggle for freedom, dignity, and justice, and also their concerns as the conflict turned into a war and Islamists gained more influence in the opposition. At the beginning of the year, more than 60,000 Syrians had been killed 1 as the Assad regime—seemingly confident it was winning, or at least not losing—continued to claim that it was fighting foreign terrorists.
