Queens of the Kingdom: The Women of Saudi Arabia Speak
by Nicola Sutcliff
3.75 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
This was an enjoyable book and an interesting look at the lives of women in Saudi Arabia told through case studies. There was diversity of people included and the people interviewed seemed relatively forthcoming. I appreciated that there was representation of the LGBTIQA+ community and how that works in with the culture these people live within. It was compiled by a Western woman which was interesting from the perspective of explanatory notes for those unfamiliar with certain things but it would be interesting to see a similar book written from someone who grew up in and lives this culture.
