Synopsis

Living Under Two Ceilings: Palestinian Women Between Occupation and Patriarchy examines the economic and social constraints shaping Palestinian women's lives under the intersecting pressures of occupation and patriarchy. Rather than framing gender as a contest between men and women, the book approaches gender inequality as a question of economic efficiency, social resilience, and collective survival. Drawing on quantitative evidence, documentary research, and comparative analysis, it investigates women's participation in formal and informal economies, unpaid care work, entrepreneurship, access to assets, education, health, family structures, political participation, and civil society. Particular attention is given to hidden economies through which women sustain households amid conflict, displacement, and resource scarcity, as well as the effects of aid dependency and NGO-driven interventions. The book argues for context-sensitive, endogenous approaches that recognize Palestinian social and religious institutions while exploring Zakat, Waqf, and grassroots financing. Ultimately, it connects gender agency with economic security, social cohesion, and national self-determination.
