The Iraqi Ba th eradicated illiteracy among women to expand its readership and support for its pan-Arab project, but women writers faced obstacles from the state. This book offers an alternative narrative of the literary and cultural history of Iraq by exploring discourses on gender in propaganda and high art fictional writings.

The Iraqi Ba'th Party made significant efforts to promote literacy among women in Iraq, aiming to expand its readership and garner support for its pan-Arab project. The party's nationalist ideology portrayed Iraq as a female entity, and women writers found opportunities and faced obstacles from the state as the "woman question" became a site of contention. This book explores discourses on gender in propaganda and high art fictional writings by Iraqis, offering an alternative narrative of the literary and cultural history of Iraq.
