I feel like this book taught me so much about gender norms and culture in Morocco, which I previously knew nothing about. Public displays of affection are banned in the public and the media. Women are extremely concerned with maintaining the appearance of purity, while also leading sexually active lives. Hymen inspections and replacements are common. I appreciated the breadth of voices that provided unique descriptions of experiences, which served to highlight how pervasive these trends are in modern Morocco. I think it has provided a lot of useful context for reading Moroccan texts in the future, particularly by women.
