Abstract:This article explores how working women in Sudan's capital negotiate legal constraints placing them under the guardianship of their husbands, imposing strict public dress and behavioral codes upon them, and upholding occupational segregation in the workplace. Upper- and middle-class women of different political–ideological standpoints see constraints as well as advantages with the Islamist approach to women's economic empowerment. While the restrictive legal framework enables Sudanese working women to make independent economic choices, the economic resources gained through wage work have had limited transformative potential in relation to the larger structures constraining various aspects of women's lives.

苏丹的工作女性：婚姻特权还是宪法权利？†

摘要：本文探讨了苏丹首都的职业女性如何协商法律约束，将她们置于丈夫的监护之下，对她们施加严格的公共着装和行为规范，并在工作场所维护职业隔离。具有不同政治意识形态立场的上层和中产阶级妇女看到了伊斯兰主义方法对妇女经济赋权的限制和优势。虽然限制性的法律框架使苏丹职业妇女能够做出独立的经济选择，但与限制妇女生活各个方面的更大结构相比，通过有薪工作获得的经济资源的变革潜力有限。
