Algerian liberation struggle itself forged new gender values preceding independence

Evidence

Algerian society in the fight for liberation, in the sacrifices that it was willing to make in order to liberate itself from colonialism, renewed itself and developed new values governing sexual relations. The woman ceased to be a complement for man. She literally forged a new place for herself by her sheer strength. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 368
