Summary:
Nawal El Saadawi has been pilloried, censored, imprisoned and exiled
for her refusal to accept the oppressions imposed on women by gender
and class. In her life and in her writings, this struggle against
sexual discrimination has always been linked to a struggle against
all forms of oppression: religious, racial, colonial and
neo-colonial. In 1969, she published her first work of non-fiction,
Women and Sex; in 1972, her writings and her struggles led to her
dismissal from her job. From then on there was no respite;
imprisonment under Sadat in 1981 was the culmination of the long war
she had fought for Egyptian women's social and intellectual freedom.
A Daughter of Isis is the autobiography of this extraordinary woman.
