Excellent Daughters

En savoir plus sur le livre

For more than a decade, Katherine Zoepf has lived in or travelled throughout the Arab world, reporting on the lives of women, whose role in the region has never been more in flux. Today, Arab women outnumber men in universities, and a few are beginning to face down religious and social tradition in order to live independently, to delay marriage and to pursue professional goals. Deeply informed, heartfelt and urgent, Excellent Daughters brings us a new understanding of changing Arab societies and gives voice to the remarkable women at the forefront of this change.
