Description
xPalestinian Women transports us to sacred thoughts, raw feelings and never before-heard stories of fifty-five Palestinian women ages 18-90 living in eighteen West Bank villages. Born into various socio-economic backgrounds and religious beliefs (including Muslim, Christian, Agnostic & Atheism), these women openly address sensitive questions such as: -What is a Palestinian woman's role in society and household? -Is it important for a Palestinian woman to have a man in her life? -How does education, marriage and religion factor into a Palestinian woman's life? -How has today's Palestinian woman's lifestyle changed compared to her mother or grandmother's time? -How important is it for a Palestinian woman to have her own identity? By presenting with discussion, research and storytelling, the author provides a platform for Palestinian women to share their histories and current views on life. The book also supports to dispel common cultural stereotypes and myths, including religious oppression and domestic violence. The author hopes to empower women all over the world to take inventory of their lives and find ways in which to create more harmony and balance within themselves and others, within their societies and all over the world.

xSadiqua Hamdan is a published writer, entrepreneur and lifelong learner. She earned her master's degree from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee with an emphasis in Leadership and Organizational Change. Sadiqua was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin to Palestinian parents who immigrated to the United States in the early 1970s. She was mainly raised in the US, but lived in the Middle East for three years. At the age of nine, her parents moved the family to their native village, Beitin (West Bank). It was the first time she would meet her grandparents and extended family. After three years, the family moved back to the US due to political turmoil. Since then Sadiqua has made multiple trips to the Middle East. As she got older, Sadiqua recognized a growing disconnect between the US and the Middle East. She wanted to find a way to help bridge the gaps and clear up misconceptions about the two cultures. She decided to start Sharp Thinking Communications and use education as a way to promote healthy cultural and business relationships between the two regions.
