This book examines the American Quaker educational enterprise in Palestine since its establishment in the late nineteenth century during the Ottoman rule and into the British Mandate period. Quaker education intersected with national and social forces and allowed for Palestinian girls' negotiation of multiple discourses about nationalism, womanhood, and motherhood.
