Must Read for those interested in Egypt or Mid-East Feminism,
By
This review is from: Harem Years: The Memoirs of an Egyptian Feminist, 1879-1924 (Paperback)
Huda Shaarawi lead a pretty amazing life. She started out life in the harem of her father, and ended it being a feminist and a nationalist hero. This isn't a particularly well written book, but when you lead a life that was intertwined with so many world events, your memoir doesn't have to be well written to be engaging.
I could recount the narrative here for you, how she got an education in the harem from other women, how the harem wasn't only a place of repression but was also a place of empowerment, how she was interested in European culture from an early age but really you should just read it for yourself. |
