Nawal El Saadawi's The Hidden Face of Eve is a powerful and thought-provoking book that exposes the oppression of women in the Arab world. Inspired by her experiences as a doctor in rural Egypt and her activism for women's rights, El Saadawi highlights the injustices and violence faced by women in her society, from legal inequality to honor killings and sexual violence, including female genital mutilation. She also examines the historical roots of this oppression, challenging the controversial topic of women and Islam. El Saadawi argues that customs such as veiling and polygamy are contradictory to the fundamental teachings of the Muslim faith or any other religion. Published in 1992, The Hidden Face of Eve remains a classic of Arab feminist writing, and its message is as relevant today as it was when it was first published.
