A collection of the non-fiction writing of Nawal el Saadawi, since the publication of her book "The Hidden Face of Eve". She explores a host of topics which include: women's oppression at the hands of recent interpretations of Islam; the role of women in African literature; sexual politics of development initiatives; tourism in a "post-colonial" age; the nature of cultural identity; the subversive potential of creativity; the fight against female genital mutilation; and problems facing the internationalization of the women's movement. Throughout her writing, she aims to shed light on the power of women in resistance - against poverty, racism, fundamentalism, and inequality of all kinds.
