Nel bestseller internazionale Princess: The True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia, la principessa Al-Sa'ud e l'acclamato autore Jean Sasson hanno dato inizio a una straordinaria serie di libri. Ora, più di venticinque anni dopo, questo avvincente viaggio continua mentre seguiamo le fortune e la vita abbagliante della principessa, dei suoi amici e della sua famiglia. Ma, naturalmente, c'è un lato meno glamour e molto più oscuro in questa avvincente serie e in Stepping Out of the Shadows Jean e la principessa concentrano la loro attenzione su come, nonostante le notizie positive sulle riforme dei diritti civili, le donne saudite subiscano ancora abusi fisici e psicologici e abbiano poca protezione legale a causa delle arcaiche leggi sulla tutela del paese. Quindi, sebbene questo sia un regno sulla soglia di un cambiamento rivoluzionario, un cambiamento guidato dal giovane principe ereditario saudita che è desideroso di modernizzare il suo paese, qualsiasi pensiero di pari diritti e la possibilità di condurre una vita indipendente rimangono poco più che sogni per la maggior parte delle donne saudite. Mentre la Principessa riconosce e accoglie con favore le riforme all'orizzonte, attraverso storie di gioia e dolore, vediamo come sia determinata a continuare a lottare per la parità di diritti delle donne nel suo amato regno.

Jean Sasson grew up in a small town in America's deep south before moving to the Middle East in 1978 to work at a prestigious royal hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In 1985, she met Princess Sultana, who inspired the widely acclaimed Princess Trilogy. Jean later worked as freelance writer in Lebanon and Kuwait, conducting interviews with Kuwaitis who survived the first Gulf war, as well as high ranking Kuwaiti officials before, during and after the War. Her affection for the Middle East has been the motivation for a number of her books and Jean has spent her career sharing the personal stories of many courageous women. Princess: Stepping Out Of The Shadows is the latest book in the bestselling Princess series.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In the international bestseller, Princess: The True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia, Princess Al-Sa'ud and the acclaimed author Jean Sasson began a remarkable series of books. Now, more than twenty-five years later, this compelling journey continues as we follow the fortunes and the dazzling life of the Princess, her friends and her family.But, of course, there is a less glamorous, much darker side to this engaging series, and in Stepping Out of the Shadows Jean and the Princess focus their attention on how, despite positive news on civil rights reforms, Saudi women still suffer physical and psychological abuse and have little legal protection due to the archaic guardianship laws of the land. So, although this is a kingdom on the threshold of revolutionary change - change spearheaded by the young Saudi Crown Prince who is keen to modernize his country - any thoughts of equal rights and the chance to lead an independent life remain little more than dreams for most Saudi women. Whilst the Princess acknowledges and welcomes the reforms that are on the horizon, through stories of joy and sorrow, we see how she is determined to continue to fight for equal rights for women in this, her beloved kingdom.
