Sex und die Zitadelle: Liebesleben in der sich wandelnden arabischen Welt by Shereen El Feki

Tons of information, interesting and shocking... but this book desperately needed a good editor. Pieces of it were too long, and supporting stories/tangents sometimes didn't fit right.

Good read, really accessible. A wealth of information for anyone interested in the current situation in the Middle East from a different, but still very important lens of understanding.

A valuable resource regarding the Arab world's approach to intimacy, though it does feel a little outdated now that we're way past the revolutions that were taking place when it was published.

This book has piqued my interest of women's studies through this lens. The book is well written and organized, topics are easily defined and put in the correct context. The chapter that discusses marriages intrigued me as well as the chapter on FGM. I found this eye opening and hope to delve into this topic further.

I don't have much energy for real reviews, but honestly this was just really interesting on a topic that I hadn't thought much about!
