Description
An anthology of Arab feminist writing, giving an insight into the lives of Arab women, from Morocco to the Arabian peninsula, spanning a century and a quarter. Personal letters, speeches, fiction and poetry challenge Arab patriarchy and are an eloquent refutation of the myth of western feminism. Margot Badran is the author of "War's Other Voices-Women Writers on the Lebanese Civil War 1975-82".
