Both Right and Left Handed: Arab Women Talk About Their Lives
BettySunshine avatar reviewed on + 43 more book reviews


Shaaban interviews women in Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Algeria. The chapter on Algeria is especially interesting as she goes to visit the people of Al Tawariqu. This society of Muslims is totally different from other societies. Here the men wear veils and women have a unique type of emancipation.
