As an Arab woman and feminist, no book has ever made me feel so heard and understood, it was as if Eltahawy was putting into words every thought and frustration I had never been able to verbalize. Also a great read for non-Arabs who want to learn more about feminism in the Arab world (and not from the Western liberal "we respect your culture even the misogynistic parts of it" view that Arab feminists reject)
