A review by eoneon
A Woman Is No Man by Etaf Rum

emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

a much needed slap in the face : "il aurait fallu bien plus qu'une seule femme pour changer les choses. il aurait fallu toutes les femmes que comptait ce monde"
the hard part is how to save the women like farida who continue to perpetuate the generational trauma
