Download Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution AudioBook Free
If the Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy released articles in Foreign Plan in 2012 entitled "Why Do They Hate Us?," it provoked a firestorm of controversy. The response it made, with an increase of than 4000 articles on the site, broke all data for the publication, prompted a large number of follow-up interviews on radio and tv set, and made it clear that misogyny in the Arab world can be an explosive issue, the one which engages and often enrages the general public. In Headscarves and Hymens, Eltahawy will take her argument further. Drawing on her years as a campaigner and commentator on women's issues in the Middle East, she clarifies that because the Arab Spring started out, women in the Arab world have had two revolutions to undertake: one fought with men against oppressive regimes, and another struggled an entire politics and monetary system that snacks women as second-class citizens in countries from Yemen and Saudi Arabia to Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya. Eltahawy has traveled across the Midsection East and North Africa, meeting with women and hearing their reviews. Her audiobook is a plea for outrage and action with the person, confronting the "toxic mixture of culture and religion that few seem willing or in a position to disentangle lest they blaspheme or offend." A manifesto encouraged by hope and fury in similar strategy, Headscarves and Hymens is really as illuminating as it is incendiary.
