Still relevant today, and lots of similarities with extreme/conservative Christians in the US too (both directly through insane and backwards laws and instruction through accepted fear tactics and an apathy for violence against women and “others”), with it all justified through scripture one way or another, which they think gives them the right to dismiss critical thinking, compassion, common sense, and empathy.

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.
