Gender Relations in the Yacoubian Building

Introduction

Gender relationships are power and place to all women in an unequal position compared to men, i.e. subordination. This does not mean that every woman is subordinate to a man, but the social organization of gender relations as a whole puts women in an inferior position compared to all men. In this paper, we are going to discuss gender relations in the book the Yacoubian Building (Salama, 7). This book is very much concerned with gender roles and sexuality in contemporary Egypt - perhaps ironic, considering Western views of Islam and sex. These people go to it all the time in all ways imaginable.

In this book the author has given vast knowledge related gender relations to provide knowledge to youth. In this building lived smart people, and the roof designed to put the washing machines, cupboards, etc. as the stewards had own room on the floor of the master, but the revolution in 1952 changed everything. Jews and foreigners began to migrate, and the floors were emptying the exile of their owners (King, 11). He then took military and general, and the roof given a different use: they were the bedrooms of the stewards. Then came the opening of the 70's and the affluent were more affluent neighborhoods, so they were untying the roofs of the flats. We established a modern society on the roof, rented rooms to migrants from the countryside and poor people.
