The writing of Nawal el Saadawi is essential. Her dissident voice has consistently critiqued neo-imperialist international politics coupled with the oppression of women both in her native Egypt and in the world beyond. This book, the first volume in "Zed’s Essential Feminists" series, gathers a selection of the whole range of Saadawi’s writing together in one volume for the first time. From fiction — novellas and short stories — to essays on politics, culture, religion and sex, from extensive interviews to her work as a dramatist, from poetry to selections of her travel writing, this book will be essential to anyone wishing to gain a sense of the total range of Saadawi’s work.
