A Woman Is No Man left me in tears. it is the story of womanhood, familial oppression & violence, identity, and voice. it shows how women replicate the patriarchy, enabling the men around them & forcing harm onto women and girls. 

Rum’s story is but one Palestinian story, one that is partially her own & one that many women experience. her bravery in writing about Isra, Deya, Sarah, and even Fareeda created a heartwrenching book that refuses to accept the way many Palestinian and Palestinian-American women are treated.

I loved Isra and Sarah so much, and their influence on Deya & Deya’s own bravery.
