Writer, doctor and militant, Nawal el Saadawi has had a major
influence on the lives of women and men globally. Author of many
books, both fiction and non-fiction, which challenge our thinking
about the politics of sex, Third World development, the Arab world
and writing itself, she has been a constant thorn in the side of
the class and patriarchal systems.
This collection of her non-fiction writing since the publication of
her seminal book on Arab women "The Hidden Face of Eve" (Zed Books,
1980) presents the full range of her extraordinary work. She
explores a host of topics from women's oppression at the hands of
recent interpretations of Islam to the role of women in African
literature, from the sexual politics of development initiatives to
tourism in a 'post-colonial'age, from the nature of cultural
identity to the subversive potential of creativity, from the fight
against female genital mutilation to problems facing the
internationalization of the women's movement. Throughout her
writing, she sheds new light on the power of women in resistance -
against poverty, racism, fundamentalism, and inequality of all
kinds.
Showing the intellectual and political development of an important
thinker for the late twentieth century, this book is essential
reading for students and lecturers in women's studies, development
studies and social theory. It is also a book anyone who wants to
understand current global politics - in their widest sense - can
not do without.
