This delves into the long-standing issue of how mainstream American media have portrayed Middle Eastern women as voiceless victims devoid of agency. However, it goes a step further by shedding light on the thoughts and emotions of Middle Eastern-American women concerning these problematic representations. It explores how these women actively engage with media to challenge stereotypes and seeks empowerment across various media platforms, including digital, alternative, and social media. The research employs qualitative methods, conducting interviews directly with Middle Eastern-American women, to uncover the structural hurdles and cultural barriers they confront in their quest for empowerment and equitable representation.
