- Abstract
Stereotypes about women in Morocco may be characterized as incomplete and inaccurate cultural beliefs that some people hold about them and that are encoded in linguistic expressions as well as in underlying discourses. Popular Moroccan culture employs powerful representations to transmit and sustain these stereotypes. Although there are some positive stereotypes, most stereotypes about women in Morocco are negative and reflect the underlying patriarchal dictates that structure gender relations in Moroccan cultures. Moroccan women are not, however, passive recipients and carriers of stereotypes; they use strategies to fight back.
