Harem Years - The Memoirs of an Egyptian Feminist, 1879-1924 (Paperback, New ed): Huda Shaarawi Harem Years - The Memoirs of an Egyptian Feminist, 1879-1924 (Paperback, New ed)
Huda Shaarawi; Edited by Margot Badran
R587 Discovery Miles 5 870 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In this rare first-hand account of the private world of a Cairo harem during the years before Egypt declared independence in 1922, Shaarawi recalls her childhood and early adult life in the seclusion of an upper-class Egyptian household, including her marriage at age thirteen. Her subsequent separation from her husband gave her time for an extended formal education, as well as an unexpected taste of independence and a critical understanding of the price of confinement. Shaarawi's feminist activism grew along with her involvement in Egypt's nationalist struggle and culminated in 1923 in a daring act of defiance, when she publicly removed her veil in a Cairo railroad station.
