520    In the first half of the twentieth century, a pioneering 
       generation of young women exited their homes and entered 
       public space, marking a new era for women's civic 
       participation in northern Sudan. A provocative new public 
       presence, women's civic engagement was at its core a 
       bodily experience. Amid the socio-political upheavals of 
       imperial rule, female students, medical workers, and 
       activists used a careful choreography of body movements 
       and fashion to adapt to imperial mores, claim 
       opportunities for political agency, and shape a new 
       standard of modern, mobile womanhood. Khartoum at Night is
       the first English-language history of these women's lives,
       examining how their experiences of the British Empire from
       1900-1956 were expressed on and through their bodies. 
       Central to this story is the tobe: a popular, modest form 
       of dress that wrapped around a woman's head and body. 
       Marie Grace Brown shows how northern Sudanese women 
       manipulated the tucks, folds, and social messages of the 
       tobe to deftly negotiate the competing pulls of 
       modernization and cultural authenticity that defined much 
       of the imperial experience. Her analysis weaves together 
       the threads of women's education and activism, medical 
       midwifery, urban life, consumption, and new behaviors of 
       dress and beauty to reconstruct the worlds of politics and
       pleasure in which early-twentieth-century Sudanese women 
       lived.
