Negative Positive
Title: mernissi's book
Review: i was surprised to find only one unfavorable view on this book.. i found it's ornate diction along with its detailed descriptions and banal subjects most suffocating and tedious to read. and i was disappointed that she made Islam such a big part of the book.. it's clear her frustrations are merely an image of her mother's.. and those are just fantasies of wanting to be like the others.. if she was to speak about islam.. she should have mentioned islam was the first to give women political and social rights.. and the women that are veiled today are the true hardcore feminists.. the book really disgusts me.. she is a pseudo feminist.. if she wants to rebel.. why not do it against her culture and her dress.. she enjoys her lavish abode.. spends countless hours on beauty (and a million pages it seems).. it's no wonder she wants to go out and flaunt it.. i thought the book sucked..
