<p>This thesis will demonstrate that women and women's groups in the Muslim world could be a  strong ally in reducing the influence and spread of Islamist ideologies. Women and women's organizations  have proven that they are effective in resisting the impact of Islamism and have been able to role back  some of its repressive policies as evidenced by the case studies of Iran, Algeria, and Afghanistan. Women  and women's organizations or feminist groups are currently active in the Muslim world already and are a  growing voice in the region. Therefore, it is of vital interest to the United States Government to engage  these groups and women's interests as a means of challenging the spread of Islamist ideology and  enlisting them in the war of ideas.
