Fatema (or Fatima) Mernissi ((アラビア語:فاطمة مرنيسي); 1940 – 30 November 2015) was a Moroccan feminist writer and sociologist. ==Biography== Mernissi was born into a middle-class family in Fes in 1940. She received her primary education in a school established by the nationalist movement, and secondary level education in an all-girls school funded by the French protectorate. In 1957, she studied political science at the Sorbonne and at Brandeis University, gaining her doctorate there.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Featured Alumni )〕 She returned to work at the Mohammed V University and taught at the Faculté des Lettres between 1974 and 1981 on subjects such as methodology, family sociology and psychosociology. She became known internationally mainly as an Islamic feminist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mernissi, Fatima )〕 As an Islamic feminist, Mernissi was largely concerned with Islam and women's roles in it, analyzing the historical development of Islamic thought and its modern manifestation. Through a detailed investigation of the nature of the succession to Muhammad, she cast doubt on the validity of some of the ''hadith'' (sayings and traditions attributed to him), and therefore the subordination of women that she sees in Islam, but not necessarily in the Qur'an.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mernissi, Fatima )〕 She wrote extensively about life within harems, gender, and public and private spheres.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wisemuslimwomen.org/muslimwomen/bio/fatema_mernissi/ )〕 She contributed the piece "The merchant's daughter and the son of the sultan" to the anthology ''Sisterhood Is Global: The International Women's Movement Anthology'' (1984), edited by Robin Morgan. As a sociologist, Mernissi mainly undertook fieldwork in Morocco. On several occasions in the late 1970s and early 1980s, she conducted interviews in order to map prevailing attitudes to women and work. She did sociological research for UNESCO and ILO as well as for the Moroccan authorities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Notable Feminist Fatema Mernissi )〕 In the same period, Mernissi contributed articles to periodicals and other publications on women in Morocco and women and Islam from a contemporary as well as from a historical perspective. In 2003, Mernissi was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award along with Susan Sontag.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Notable Feminist Fatema Mernissi, Susan Sontag - Literature 2003 )〕 Mernissi was a lecturer at the Mohammed V University of Rabat and a research scholar at the University Institute for Scientific Research, in the same city. She died in Rabat on 30 November 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fatema Mernissi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
