Arab women today have more rights than ever; we are allowed to study, vote, drive, own property, and have a career outside the house. What more do we want? Much more, I argue. We want to go out late, cut our hair short, have a boyfriend (or four), and choose our husbands. We want to have sex for pleasure, opt out of motherhood, and marry a man who knows how to cook. We want to have full control over our lives, our careers, and our vaginas. In this part memoir, part rant- I, an ordinary Arab woman, share a collection of witty essays and anecdotes on the extraordinarily bizarre life of being an Arab woman in today's world. I expose the oppressions that Arab women experience- from subtle to more obvious, from issues that women all over the world experience to subjects specific to Arab cultures; from how we feel about our boobs and bras, dealing with society viewing our periods as dirty, grooming rules, diet culture, makeup, fashion, the male gaze, modesty, the crime of falling in love, and arranged marriages, to the obsessions with hymens, fear of sex, forced motherhood, shaming of postpartum bodies, sexual harassment, victim-blaming, slut shaming, discrimination in the workplace, and much more. I question the ridiculous religious rulings on issues such as wearing bras and makeup, plucking our eyebrows and pubic hair, having sex, going out without a male guardian, and the sin of praying while wearing nail polish. I look at how the sex objectification of women breeds a culture of terrorism and explain why Arab men need feminism too. Confined by tradition, culture, and mullahs, this book is an entertaining rant to support the modern Arab woman who wants to come out of her abaya closet.About the author: Farida D. is an Arab gender researcher, studying Arab women's everyday oppressions for over a decade.
