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 anchor
Christiane Amanpour.
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 travelling 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.
