'An unforgettable, unmissable book for the new global feminist.' The Times 'All the men I did get to know filled me with but one desire: to lift my hand and bring it smashing down on his face.' So begins Firdaus's remarkable story of rebellion against a society founded on lies, hypocrisy, brutality and oppression. Born to a peasant family in the Egyptian countryside, Firdaus struggles through childhood, seeking compassion and knowledge in a world which gives her little of either. As she grows up and escapes the fetters of her childhood, each new relationship teaches her a bitter but liberating truth - that the only free people are those who want nothing, fear nothing and hope for nothing. This classic novel has been an inspiration to countless people across the world. Saadawi's searing indictment of society's brutal treatment of women continues to resonate today.

A very interesting and touching book. Its not a long book so I read it all in one go, any way I couldnt put it down from when I started reading, afterwhich I gave it to my friend to read who also really enjoyed it. It is not a happy book, its the very sad story of a woman leading a life unloved and unable to find true happiness, meaning or kindness. The book raises the issue of the true value of life and integrity. A dark tale which paints a grim picture of the world we live in.
