Abstract	:	This study examines the interaction of the modern oppositionist Islamic groups with the ideologies and self-concepts of contemporary Egyptian women. A sample of women responded to a series of questions examining their attitudes about gender issues and towards the Islamic jamaat. Their responses were analyzed and compared to existing literature on the themes of gender issues and statements on the status of women by the Islamic groups, particularly the moderate Ikhwan, the Muslim Brotherhood. The arguments involved were considered in historical perspective and as they construed a construction of a new form of Egyptian self-image for women. The issue of reveiling was hotly debated by respondents as was the ideal position of women in the work setting. The respondents exhibited some correlations of age, geographic derivation, and socioeconomic background with veil-wearing and career plans. Furthermore, women differed on the future orientation of the state and the role of government in affecting gender issues.
