Reviews

'This is a beautifully written and profoundly moving memoir, firstly because it is an account of one woman’s struggle for emancipation, but also because it has much to teach Western feminists about the priorities of Arab women seeking to transform their situation. What it teaches us, above all, is that we must learn to listen to their words.'

 –Maggie Tonkin, Journal of Australian Studies
