Often likened to Rigoberta Menchu and Nadine Gordimer, Nawal El
Saadawi is one of the world's leading feminist authors. Director of
Health and Education in Cairo, she was summarily dismissed from her
post in 1972 for her political writing and activities. In 1981 she
was imprisoned by Anwar Sadat for alleged "crimes against the
State" and was not released until after his assassination. "Memoirs
from the Women's Prison" offers both first hand witness to women's
resistance to state violence and fascinating insights into the
formation of women's community. Saadawi describes how political
prisoners, both secular intellectuals and Islamic revivalists,
forged alliances to demand better conditions and to maintain their
sanity in the confines of their cramped cell. Saadawi's haunting
prose makes Memoirs an important work of twentieth-century
literature. Recognized as a classic of prison writing, it touches
all who are concerned with political oppression, intellectual
freedom, and personal dignity.
