Description
This is a study of the Arab world's leading femininst and most controversial woman writer, Nawal El Saadawi. Her outspoken feminism and critique of patriarchy have won her much admiration, but also many enemies. Imprisoned in Egypt under Sadat, El Saadawi is now among those on the death lists of Islamic religious conservatives. The book contends that El Saadawi's work cannot be read in isolation from its Islamic and Arabic heritage. Drawing upon knowledge of classical and modern Arabic textual traditions, and on extensive conversations with El Saadawi, this book places the writer within her cultural and historical context.
