Cover of Growing Up Feminist in a Muslim Land
by Amira Nowaira
Language: English
Release Date: November 8, 2010

This memoir by an Egyptian woman is at once a personal journey and an investigation into the political and social construction of modern Egypt. It casts a humorous, though at times a cynical, look at all those events, refusing to privilege one ideology over another or to pay homage to particular idols, figures or unquestioned modes of thinking.
