Summary:
Walking Through Fire is the story of Nawal El Saadawi, the first Arab
woman to write about sex and its relation to economics and politics.
It explores her extraordinary life spent in resistance, and shows the
passion for justice that has shaped her life and writings. A sequel
to her first autobiography, A Daughter of Isis, this book chronicles
her time spent as a rural doctor, her attempts to set up women’s
organizations and publish magazines later banned by authorities or
endangered by fundamentalist threats, her time in exile after her
name was published on a death list, and her marriages and ensuing
struggles against her "false self”.
