    • A library search using "women," "gender" and "Middle East" as key words shows that almost 100 books and over 275 journal articles, including book reviews, have been published on these topics in the past decade. This number includes only English language publication and does not include contributions to edited volumes, dealing either with the Middle East or with women and gender issues in other parts of the world. Another interesting trend involves the growing number of doctoral dissertations on the topic.

    • During the first two decades the discourse has stressed mostly "women," and "women's studies." In the past decade, however, the word "gender" has become more central to these debates. This development has been influenced by similar trends in women's studies.

The article was the basis of a presentation at the 1987 MESA conference as part of a panel titled "Studying Middle Eastern Women: The First Two Decades," chaired by Elizabeth Fernea. This panel, brought together participants on the 1974 MESA panel, titled "Middle East Women," also chaired by Elizabeth Fernea, in an attempt to review interim developments in Middle East women's studies.

    • The table reflects the total number of panels and papers on women and gender presented at MESA from 1986 through 1997. Papers on the first panel dealing with sexuality (1997 conference) were also included in this category. The table distinguishes between panels that focus solely on women and gender issues and general panels that include one or more papers on women and/or gender issues. Papers and panels were classified based on their titles. I am aware, however, that there may have been papers which addressed gender issues without stating this in the title.
