Veil and Lipstick: Three Modern Arab Women Writers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692135846)

This book is part critical study and part introduction to three important female Arab fiction writers who are not well known to American audiences: Zainab Hefny, Huda AlAttas, and Buthaina Khudr Makki. These brave writers shed light on dark aspects of their cultures that have not been addressed in detail before. You will not find these writers' works on any library shelvesin America because these shelves are crowded by specific Arab writers whose works are translated for commercial or specifically Arab political reasons. The three women who are the subject of this book are skilled Arab activists and writers who are leading a creative movement in Arab countries that have different cultures.
