EL SAADAWI NAWAL THE HIDDEN FACE OF EVE

Passionate  powerful and thought-provoking  in The Hidden Face of Eve   leading feminist writer
Nawal El Saadawi provides a shocking account of the oppression of women in the Arab world.  
Inspired by her experiences working as a doctor in rural Egypt and her life as an activist for
women's rights  she charts the injustices and violence faced by women in the society she grew
up in  from legal inequality to honour killings and sexual violence  including female genital
mutilation. Examining the historical roots of this oppression  she tackles the controversial
topic of women and Islam  arguing that customs such as veiling and polygamy are contradictory
to the fundamental teachings of the Muslim faith or any other.  As necessary now as when it was
first published  The Hidden Face of Eve is a classic of Arab feminist writing.
