Headscarves and Hymens : Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution - Thryft
Headscarves and Hymens : Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution - Thryft

Bold critique of misconceived attitudes about Muslim women.

Recommended for those interested in women's rights in Muslim cultures, this book is a forceful, unapologetic denouncement of sexual oppression and abuse justified by religious extremism. The author offers examples of how deeply ingrained misogyny can be challenged through political and social revolution, and implores western liberals to stop excusing or ignoring it under the guise of multiculturalism.

Description

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.
