Abstract
During the Tunisian transitional process, three major forces fought for inclusion in the new political field: the former liberal and leftist opposition, the former Islamic-conservative opposition and former regime members. Gender politics were a crucial site of contention in these struggles. Liberal and leftist as well as conservative and Islamic women’s groups were actively engaged both in gender policy-making and in the struggle to secure “their” groups’ future political participation.
