A very moving read,
This review is from: Khul-Khaal, Five Egyptian Women Tell Their Stories (Contemporary Issues in the Middle East) (Paperback)
Khuul-Khal is an excellent insight into the life of Egyptian women. The way the author has kept the women's own style of telling their stories, made me feel as if they were talking to me directly. I felt deeply touched by some of the stories. Khuul-Khal is a very moving book and I can't recommend it enough to anybody who wants to learn more about Egyptians and their customs.

Fascinating,

This review is from: Khul-Khaal, Five Egyptian Women Tell Their Stories (Contemporary Issues in the Middle East) (Paperback)
This book presents the life stories of five working class women from Egypt in the 1970s. Atiya has masterfully written the tales in the voices of the women who told them to her. The stories contain fascinating ethnographic information about living conditions and customs of the region and the time. Together, they give a picture of women's issues in Egypt, especially regarding family bonds and power, women's work, establishment of gender roles, marriage, and female circumcision.
