"She points out that Syrian women have been "providing logistical work for protest activity."" Oh, spare me the fake attempt to attribute feminist motives to a movement that is led by the polygamous leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. Yes, early on there were secular trends but they were marginalized by regime repression and by Ikhwan and Salafites who hijacked the uprising. Providing logistical work? Yes, that means preparing the meals. The protests in Syria have become increasingly segregated and increasingly male chauvinist.
