A Woman Is No Man by Etaf Rum

4.5

I loved this. Exploring generational trauma, Arab/Palestinian culture, the immigrant experience and what it means to be a woman coming from a stricter culture (Palestinian) to a more lenient one (Western) was incredibly insightful. This book touches on a lot of dark things and is not a happy read (though it ends on a happy note) but definitely an important one. Please just keep in mind that this does not represent the whole of Palestinian culture and is not representative of what every Palestinian or Arab’s life is like.
