كان سقف توقعاتي اعلى بكثير مما وجدته، كنت باانتظار حوارات اعمق بين السجينات و عن حياتهن عن نضالهن
لكن كان الكتاب مليئا بالوصف نصف المشاعر و الطرقات مرارا و تكرارا
الاسلوب بسيط جدا لكنه ممتع مسترسل لا تشعر بالضجر
كان تجربة جيدة على كل حال تكونت عندي فكرة عن حال العرب حينها و انه بعد خمسين عاما تقريبا لم يتغير حال المراة الان

“Fearing servility, people become servile.”
“We will destroy this prison! We will not die without noise!”
“True democracy obtains only when the people - women, men, young people, children - have the ability to change the system of industrial capitalism that has oppressed them since the earliest days of slavery: a system based on class division, patriarchy, and military might, a hierarchical system that subjugated people merely because they are born poor, or female, or dark-skinned.”

Imprisoned unfairly, Nawal El Saadawi continues to advocate for everything she believes in no matter what. Grasping for freedom and authority when she can, defending the other women in her cell, solidarity and womanhood at its maximum, this memoir was incredibly informative and touching. This might be her memoir, but she's also retelling the life of her cellmates, a reminder that these women existed too.
She seemed to have been an incredible woman, I was saddened to learn she died in 2021.
In her memoir, she mentions the fact that since she was a child, she always wanted to leave something of value behind when she died, but she didn't know what and was afraid of not being able to do so.
I hope she knew she succeeded.
