Acknowledgement
This dissertation could not have been completed without the support of a great many
individuals. It is a collective journey, a challenging intellectual task that would not have been
possible without all the valuable support in my life.
Without a doubt, the main contributor to this dissertation is my supervisor Dr Zahia
Salhi, whose constant intellectual insight and input brought this document to completion. I
owe a debt of gratitude to her, for her unflagging encouragement over the past few years,
helping me to nurture what once only seemed like a dream: researching about women's lives
who suffer from cultural ethos. She provided me with a space to express my fears and
frustrations; she listened to my concerns, and helped boost my confidence and faith in myself.
Without her, I could never have completed my academic journey. She used to say to me,
despite all my hardships, that I was doing "brilliantly".
I would like to thank all the participants in this study, especially those who gave so
much of their time, generosity, and support. Without them, there would have been nothing to
write about. My gratitude also goes to my academic friend Dr Kaveri Qureshi, who provided
me with direction, and enriched my understanding of the complexity of the area. She made
sense of my data, and supplied me with enlightened and constructive criticism during the
early drafts of my work. I hope that I have done some justice to her suggestions. Thanks are
similarly due to Dr Marta Bolognani and Dr Mwenza BIell, for their earlier support: 'Not less
important is the help I received from Nada AI-Otaiby, who was a real boost for me both
personally and professionally; Christine Chattle and Nadia Anwar both corrected my English;
and David Chu, who supported me in computer difficulties. I thank all of them. Despite such
assistance, I remain solely responsible for any problems with the project.
I'm thankful to Janet Morton, a librarian at the University of Leeds, for helping me
locate research material. I'm also thankful to Professor Qadir Khan Rajput, a Vice Chancellor
(MUET), who granted me a study leave to go abroad, and Professor Mark Williams who
helped me secure funds, without which I would not have been able to complete my project. I
must equally express my gratitude to Seija Frears, who provided special prayers and initial
moral support to settle me in Leeds. Indeed all my Leeds friends have been a great support in
my struggle as a self-funded student. I am exceptionally grateful to my friends Emma
Reinhardt, Sabrina Qureshi, Bridget Fenn, Caroline Smart, Vivienne Hayes, Jacek Leszek,
Anita Mir, Shabnum Moti and Nafisa Shah, for all their love and enormous encouragement.
