The book discusses the emergence of women’s associations in the UAE and introduces their establishment, branches and affiliated centers, the laws of these associations, their administrative structure, and their financial resources, starting from Abu Dhabi Women’s Association in Abu Dhabi 1973, Umm Al Quwain Women Association 1973, Women’s Union Association in Sharjah 1973, Umm Al Moumineen Women's Association in Ajman 1974, and Al Nahda Women's Association in Ras Al Khaimah 1979.

It also highlights the emergence of the General Women's Union in the UAE in 1975, and the interest of His Late Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the UAE, in Emirati women’s issues, and his constant encouragement of them by supporting the Mother of the Nation, Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, President of the General Women's Union, Supreme President of the Family Development Foundation, and President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood,

which made it one of the Union's most prominent achievements in the advancement of Emirati women.

The research deals with the Dubai Women's Association, using it, as an example, for monitoring what has been accomplished by the Association in service of its affiliates in particular and society in general.

The time frame for the research in this book is set as starting from 1973, the year in which the first women's association was established in the UAE (Abu Dhabi Women’s Association), until 2001, the year in which the UAE's General Women's Union obtained a silver jubilee.
