Globalization is a multifaceted process that manifests itself in the various aspects of life; economic, political, social and cultural. None of these aspects does not bear traits of women’s influence either directly or indirectly. Thus the subject of globalization and its impact on women became of considerable interest in most countries. Tackling this question in different works all over the world reveals that there are two views. The first considers that globalization has been a source of more pressures and responsibilities on women, while the second views globalization as a source of several advantages for women. In fact, both trends are bearing non-negligible traits of reality.
