Riassunto

A first-of-its-kind exploration of a new generation of Arab women who are questioning authority, changing societies and leading revolutions brings a new understanding of the changing Arab societies, from 9/11 to Tahrir Square to the rise of ISIS, and gives voice to the extraordinary women at the forefront of this change.

Recensione:

"In short if you're interested in the Arab world, in feminism or just in superb journalism, Excellent Daughters is highly recommended." --Anna James, Books Editor at The Bookseller

"Zoepf's knowledge of Arabic, her open and inquisitive mind, her combination of lucidity and empathy, and perhaps even her own background as a lapsed Jehovah's Witness allow her to understand these women's lives on their own terms without losing her footing either in their world or in ours." --New York Times
