Abstract
Algerian culture was backward and underdeveloped, especially in terms of attitudes and
behaviours towards women. Since Algerian culture in the late 19th century was conservative
and patriarchal, based on a form of Islamic law that favoured male families, the Algerian
women's feminist movement was developing towards women's rights in Algerian culture.
Especially after colonization, Algerian women are considered combatants. Although most of
the attention paid to Algerian women during the war focused on the most prominent urban
fighters, they were a minority: only a small percentage of women carried out terrorist attacks
or armed combatants. Algerians misappropriated women's identities for ideological purposes,
making these women's voices part of the true discourse on the war after independence. They
then occupy the public sphere, participate in politics, and occupy a key position in
government. Furthermore, this research aims to show the struggle of the Algerian feminist
soul from 1999 to 20199. Our present study is divided into two main chapters in which we
made a general overview about feminism definition. We also, discussed the emergence of
feminism movement in Algerian . Furthermore the second chapter deals with the Feminist
movement under Bouteflika rules between 1999-2019 and the rules which support them .
