Abstract

Egypt has experienced several political transitions since its independence in , with varying degrees of gender representation and influence. The research will employ a comparative analysis of historical political documents and interviews with key figures from each transition period, focusing on the roles and impacts of women in leadership positions. Gender disparities were notably present throughout Egypt's transitions, particularly during the post-revolutionary era when women’s participation was limited to ceremonial roles despite their increasing presence in education and healthcare sectors. Women's influence varied significantly across different political contexts, with some periods showing more inclusive leadership opportunities than others. Future studies should consider longitudinal approaches to better understand long-term changes in gender dynamics within Egyptian politics.
