The Tale of Princess Fatima, Warrior Woman: The Arabic Epic of Dhat Al-Himma by Melanie Magidow
4.0
In modern times Princess Fatima colloquially speaking is a "badass". I firstly wish the story kept going on and was the full 5000 original pages, secondly that my Arabic was good enough to read the 5000 pages. Thirdly a great effort by Melanie for introducing us to highlights of this warrior women's story.
Even though the story is set in the Arab medevial times, the struggles and persuits of this warrior women can be drawn from to represent some of the same social sexist battles women have been fighting against for thousands of years. I love the new door this book has opened, a world of a time and people I look forward to exploring even more.
