Nineteen Arab women journalists speak out about what it's like to
report on their changing homelands in this first-of-its-kind essay
collection, with a foreword by CNN chief international
correspondent Christiane Amanpour "A stirring, provocative and
well-made new anthology . . . that rewrites the hoary rules of the
foreign correspondent playbook, deactivating the old cliches."
-Dwight Garner, The New York Times A growing number of intrepid
Arab and Middle Eastern sahafiyat-female journalists-are working
tirelessly to shape nuanced narratives about their changing
homelands, often risking their lives on the front lines of war.
From sexual harassment on the streets of Cairo to the difficulty of
traveling without a male relative in Yemen, their challenges are
unique-as are their advantages, such as being able to speak
candidly with other women at a Syrian medical clinic or with men on
Whatsapp who will go on to become ISIS fighters, rebels, or
pro-regime soldiers. In Our Women on the Ground, nineteen of these
women tell us, in their own words, about what it's like to report
on conflicts that (quite literally) hit close to home. Their daring
and heartfelt stories, told here for the first time, shatter
stereotypes about the region's women and provide an urgently needed
perspective on a part of the world that is frequently
misunderstood. INCLUDING ESSAYS BY: Donna Abu-Nasr, Aida Alami,
Hannah Allam, Jane Arraf, Lina Attalah, Nada Bakri, Shamael Elnoor,
Zaina Erhaim, Asmaa al-Ghoul, Hind Hassan, Eman Helal, Zeina Karam,
Roula Khalaf, Nour Malas, Hwaida Saad, Amira Al-Sharif, Heba
