Hekmat Al-Taweel (1922-2008) was a native Palestinian Christian
from Gaza City whose narrative provides an unfamiliar perspective
on Muslim–Christian relationships in Gaza, highlighting shared
history, culture, customs, and traditions. In relating her life
story, continuing education after marriage, volunteer work,
activism, and aspirations, she invites readers to understand her
experiences in a way that contradicts widespread Western
orientalized stereotypes of Arab women. She also shares insights
into life in Gaza during the British Mandate period and the 1948
Nakba and its aftermath. This is the third book in the Women’s
Voices from Gaza Series, which honours women’s unique and
underrepresented perspectives on the social, material, and
political realities of Palestinian life.
