Title: Vapid and Insipid!
Review: I bought this book, because I was intrigued and fascinated by the topic and the rather unusual publishing history. However, I was sorely disappointed. What a shame that such an important and riveting subject such as the hidden lives and sufferings of women in other cultures is treated in such a childish and vapid manner! Granted, Princess Sultana is a real person who is recounting her story, but that does not necessarily imply that this story should be presented as one of maturity and triumph. The final insult to women's suffering all over the world is Princess Sultana's post-mortem adulation of Princess Diana and her humane work. Can and should we really leave the never-ending struggle for women's dignity world-wide to rich, bored, psychologically disturbed twits?
