{"product_id":"casting-off-the-veil-sania-sharawi-lanfranchi-9781784532765","title":"Casting off the Veil: The Life of Huda Shaarawi, Egypt's First Feminist","description":"In 1923, when the pioneer of feminist activism, Huda Shaarawi, removed her veil in Cairo's train station, she created what became a landmark (and much-copied) gesture for feminists throughout Egypt and the Middle East and cemented her status as one of the most important feminists in twentieth-century Egypt. In Casting off the Veil, her granddaughter Sania Sharawi Lanfranchi uses never-before seen letters and photographs to explore the life and thought of Egypt's first feminist, as she campaigned against British occupation, as well as striving to improve conditions for women throughout the country. From her birth into a wealthy and powerful family, her early years spent in a harem, to her iconic status as one of the most influential feminists in Middle Eastern history, this is a fascinating portrait of a determined and ground-breaking woman, a rich and important story which will captivate everyone with an interest in Egyptian, feminist or colonial history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sania Sharawi Lanfranchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784532762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784532765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Sania Sharawi Lanfranchi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988023083263,"sku":"9781784532765","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30b572f1-ab63-460f-b5de-9ed8ff5cdf54.jpg?v=1683292193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/casting-off-the-veil-sania-sharawi-lanfranchi-9781784532765","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
