Abstract: This article provides a broad-based overview of how the current global context impacts the ability for educational research conducted by women and female scholars. Women's engagement in three critical areas of education--curriculum concerns, scholarship, and research--is addressed, and the way education policy is under duress in light of changing political headwinds is discussed. Drawing inspiration from the history and activism of women in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and as it pertains to the systems and practices in Muslim societies and the Muslim diaspora, it the author's hope that this essay presents a global framing that contextualizes the work in these regions and amidst these scholars.
