The “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement has its own unique characteristics, which have more or less been forming by the dynamics of a new generation of revolutionary uprisings. What does this movement tell us about the characteristics of today’s revolutionary movements? Specifically, how does this movement compare to the Arab Spring uprisings that swept across the Middle East and North Africa in the past decade? My argument is that perhaps the “Women, Life, Freedom” movement represents the first revolutionary movement of the 21st century that is struggling to free itself from its inherent limitations. Will this struggle bear fruit? We shall see.
