Author(s): Mona Eltahawy ISBN: 9781780228877 Binding: Paperback Published: 2016-05-10 One of the most controversial, talked-about books of 2015, in a fresh new package, published to coincide with International Women's Day. HEADSCARVES AND HYMENS explodes the myth that we should stand back and watch while women are disempowered and abused in the name of religion. In this laceratingly honest account, Eltahawy takes aim both at attitudes in the Middle East and at the western liberals who mistake misogyny for cultural difference. Her argument is clear: unless political revolution in the Arab world is accompanied by social and sexual revolution, no progress will be made.
