Published 2009cover on file

"Women Writing Africa: The Northern Region includes over 100 texts in nine different languages from six countries - Algeria, Egypt, Mauritania, Morocco, Sudan, and Tunisia. Drawing on oral written sources, the entries span several millennia and range from an ancient Egyptian Queen's marriage proposal to modern women advocating new marriage and family laws. Writers such as Leila Abou Zeid, Amina Arfaoui, Salwa Bakr, Assia Djebar, Nawal El Saadawi, and Fatima Mernissi explore love, marriage, polygamy, the veil, the struggle for nationhood, and the right to employment."--Book cover.
