Nawal El-Saadawi

The story of Firdaus, one of the greatest characters ever created in fiction. Meer

This series of essays form a selection of El Saadawi's most recent musings, memories and reflections, considering the role of women in Egyptian and wider Islamic society, the inextricability of imperialism from the patriarchy, the meeting point of East and West, and the image and body politic of the woman in the intersections of those cultures.
