Review: Difficult, important, life changing, must read - Such an honest book, I admire the author for this more than anything. She's angry and has every right to be and is doing something about it. I have no doubt as someone who wants to speak up about such uncomfortable truths she is and will get a lot of criticism. She doesn't deserve it, she should be thanked. Calls the war on muslim women's bodies, from all sides, for what it is. But I think a lot of muslim women are asleep to a lot of what she talks about which is why it is SUCH an important book. Peace to a true rebel. I mean that because its hard to find peaceful acceptance with a world that is so unjust.
Review: Very interesting - Just found this to be current and relevant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Difficult, important, life changing, must read
*by T***E on 28 December 2015*

Such an honest book, I admire the author for this more than anything. She's angry and has every right to be and is doing something about it. I have no doubt as someone who wants to speak up about such uncomfortable truths she is and will get a lot of criticism. She doesn't deserve it, she should be thanked. Calls the war on muslim women's bodies, from all sides, for what it is. But I think a lot of muslim women are asleep to a lot of what she talks about which is why it is SUCH an important book. Peace to a true rebel. I mean that because its hard to find peaceful acceptance with a world that is so unjust.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly inspiring
*by A***R on 28 March 2017*

This is a very important book. Some of the subject matter is very challenging (particularly the parts relating to female genital mutilation) but I believe it should be read by all, especially those who have an interest in women's issues and women's rights. The author is truly brave and can only be commended for her courage to write this book. In 2011 during a protest in Cairo she was sexually assaulted, detained and beaten until her arms were broken. This book is a rallying cry to women all across the Middle East to question the patriarchal hegemony and to challenge the status quo. A must read.
