Well beyond the Arab world, El Saadawi's fiction and non-fiction work, from Woman at Point Zero to The Fall of the Imam to her prison memoirs, have earned her a reputation as a refreshing voice of feminism in the Arab World. This series of essays form a selection of El Saadawi's most recent musings, memories and reflections, considering the role of women in Egyptian and wider Islamic society, the inextricability of imperialism from the patriarchy, the meeting point of East and West, and the image and body politic of the woman in the intersections of those cultures. These musings leave no stone unturned and no view unchallenged, and offer the interested reader new insight into El Saadawi's thoughts and reflections.
Nawal El Saadawi was born in 1931. She is an Egyptian feminist writer, activist, physician and psychiatrist, whose writings focus on the subject of women in Islam. She is well known for her exploration of female genital mutilation in Egyptian society and has been described as "the Simone de Beauvoir" of the Arab world. She is founder and president of the Arab Women's Solidarity Association, and co-founder of the Arab Association for Human Rights. In addition to having been awarded honorary degrees on three continents, she has won the North-South Prize from the Council of Europe (2004), the Inana International Prize in Belgium (2005), and the International Peace Bureau's Sean MacBride Peace Prize (2012).
