Popis: This paper aims to study the mechanisms that the Moroccan religious elite utilizes to preserve their stability recruiting leaders of feminist religious reformism. Our goals are to: study the elites and the feminist religious leadership in Morocco; describe the characteristics, nature and distribution of the Moroccan elites; review the political power, religious state and Islamic religious order in Morocco; analyze the feminist religious movement in Morocco; and investigate the process of cooptation of feminist religious leaders by the religious state elites. The methodology employed is qualitative and the selected data production technique has been life history. In conclusion we can say that the co-option by the official religious elites of a feminist religious leader demonstrates that the mechanism of circulation of the elites in Morocco is used to ensure their survival.
