This book was very important for me as an arab woman. It's brave, radical, and Mona is unapologetic in exposing the truth of misogyny in Arab culture and demanding rights for the region's women. She talks about sex, virginity, marriage, religion, violence, and women's rightful place in the revolution. Mona is excellent in articulating what I wish I had the words to express.
