Más información sobre el libro
This book tells the life stories of five middle-class women in Egypt during the 1970s. Nayra Ativa skillfully narrates these five stories from the perspective of these women. The stories include fascinating ethnic information about the living conditions and customs of a region during a specific period. Together, this information provides the reader with a picture of the issues and challenges faced by women in Egypt, particularly regarding family ties, women's employment, gender issues, marriage, and female circumcision. "Khul-Khaal" offers an excellent view of the lives of Egyptian women. The author has not manipulated the women's narratives significantly, which makes the reader feel as though these women are telling their stories directly to them.
