They even disregard her lover Jamil who escapes abroad for further studies. Faridas marriage that took off with a zoom begins falling apart. She returns to her fathers place to find that her ugly younger sister is being married to her lost lover but old love is inflamed when Jamil sees Farida. They meet up to sort out any misgivings only to find herself embroiled further into a doldrum of relationships as she meets with people of varied shades during her adventurous journey to another city to divorce her absconding husband.

But Stella won't talk about it, and Farida can tell she's keeping something from her.Desperate to help Rob, Stella thinks she just needs to get him out of the house.

Download or read book Rants of a Rebel Arab Feminist written by Farida D and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Violence Against Women in Politics written by Mona Lena Krook and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Women have made significant inroads into politics in recent years, but in many parts of the world, their increased engagement has spurred physical attacks, intimidation, and harassment intended to deter their participation. This book provides the first comprehensive account of this phenomenon, exploring how women came to give these experiences a name - violence against women in politics - and lobbied for its increased recognition by citizens, states, and international organizations. Tracing how this concept emerged inductively on the global stage, the volume draws on research in multiple disciplines to resolve lingering ambiguities regarding its contours. It argues that this phenomenon is not simply a gendered extension of existing definitions of political violence privileging physical aggressions against political rivals. Rather, violence against women in politics is a distinct phenomenon involving a broad range of harms to attack and undermine women as political actors. Drawing on a wide range of country examples, the book illustrates what this violence looks like in practice, as well as catalogues emerging solutions around the world. Issuing a call to action, it considers how to document this phenomenon more effectively, as well as understand the political and social implications of allowing violence against women in politics to continue unabated. Highlighting the threats it poses to democracy, human rights, and gender equality, the volume concludes that tackling violence against women in politics requires ongoing dialogue and collaboration to ensure women's equal rights to participate - freely and safely - in political life around the globe"--
