I love reading about the lives of women in other countries and cultures, but this particular book had a bit too much of an emphasis on the literature and the women as readers rather than on their own struggles. (Of course, perhaps I should have expected this from the title of the book!) In any case, I still enjoyed the book very much. The author is a fascinating woman who has also written other works on women in Muslim societies.
