But because I am a woman I have never had the courage to lift my hand. And because I am a prostitute, I hid my fear under layers of make-up." --Excerpt Book Description: "All the men I did get to know, every single man of them, has filled me with but one desire: to lift my hand and bring it smashing down on his face.

It takes a little while to realize what the author is really trying to get through the reader's head, but once he or she catches it, it will open eyes. Rating: - EgyptologyHere's a quick test. Go and grab a pen and paper. OK, got one? Great, here goes. Make a list of well-known feminists. I will give you a few moments. So. How many did you manage?

Now make a list of well-known Islamic feminists. Go on. If ... Read More Rating: - It's also about the larger issue of the haves exploiting the have-notsThe story takes place in the early 1970s. The author, Dr. Saadawi is a psychiatrist and consultant for the women's prison. A young woman named Firdaus is scheduled to be executed for fatally stabbing her pimp. Thus far Firdaus has refused to speak to anyone, but Dr. Saadawi breaks through and thus a novel is born. Firdaus is born to a poor family.
