In class today we discussed depictions of Arab masculinity, drawing upon the film Lawrence of Arabia.

For this assignment, select a depiction (visual or audio/visual) of Arab femininity, and then do your analysis based on Lester’s model.

Be sure to lead your analysis with your definition of Arab femininity.

To be clear, for this assignment, we are interested Arab femininity which is much more than merely a picture of an Arab woman, and we are looking for a representation closer to a true generalization rather than a false stereotype.
