Memoirs from the Women's Prison by Nawal El Saadawi
4.0
I will read anything this woman has written and will not stop til I've read everything out there which has been translated to English :')
She is such an inspiration to me and millions of women and men around the globe, which now continues after her death and will for many, many more generations, I'm sure.
One of my favourite passages of hers in the afterword -
"Danger has been a part of my life ever since I picked up a pen and wrote. Nothing is more perilous than truth in a world that lies. Nothing is more perilous than knowledge in a world that has considered knowledge a sin since Adam and Eve.
But I don't feel the danger, perhaps because it is a part of my life, just as a train or airplane passenger doesn't sense the motion, once having become a part of it."
