Using both feminist and institutionalist approaches, Sandberg and Aqertit explore how, in twenty–five years, Moroccan women activists altered their national gender institution to improve substantially the lives of all Moroccan women. Sandberg and Aqertit operationalize and offer an institutional template for studying change in national gender institutions that can be adopted by practitioners and scholars in other country settings.
