MEMOIRS FROM THE WOMENS PRISON - NAWAL EL SAADA...

In 1981  the celebrated author and activist Nawal el Saadawi was imprisoned by the Sadat regime
in her native Egypt  for 'crimes against the state'. Through haunting and evocative prose 
Saadawi here recounts how she and her fellow prisoners continued to resist even in captivity 
and to form a community which transcended divisions between secular and religious activists.
She reveals both the harrowing detail and the everyday mundanity of prison life  as well as the
bravery and resolve of all women resisting oppression - and of political prisoners around the
world. Memoirs from the Women's Prison is an unforgettable  landmark work of prison writing
that offers a rare insight into the indomitable  soaring literary mind of the Arab world's
leading feminist.
