Arab Women in the Field is the collection of six articles written by Arab women social scientists. These six women have a number of common traits. They are originally all from the Arab land, Middle East, all educated in the West, they are all social scientists and they are all ‘women.’ All of them are the members of the societies they studied (e.g. Palestinian, Saudi Arabian, Lebanese, Egyptian, and Jordanian). They use their theoretical knowledge which is the result of their educational experiences in Western countries and rethink the theory of the West in the light of their experiences in the East. For their research, the most important informants were women.
