Book Reviews of Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia
Book Review: Heartfelt Story of A Princess
Summary: 4 Stars
I was reluctant to read a book about Muslim written by a non-believer yet I was relieved to discover that Jean maintains her respect for our religion throughout the book. Basically men make their own rules to remain superior in this world. Be it in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, anywhere. If given the chance, they (men) will definitely take advantage of controlling women around them. Women might not be the superior gender but we are definitely not the weaker one. We are your strength, we can also be your weakness. I couldn't understand the logic why men ever thought that women are not that important. Can men bare children? They can't even produce men if they wanted to. Men + Women = Men and Women, Men + Men = Nothing, Women + Women = Nothing. Therefore, men and women both are equally important! Things haven't changed much for women in the Middle East and the West Asia; my prayers are for them. For those men who have done your women or any women wrong, you are such a sissy deep inside.
Summary of Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia
PRINCES: A TRUE STORY OF LIFE BEHIND THE VEIL IN SAUDI ARABIA describes the life of Princess Sultana Al Sa'ud, a princess in the royal house of Saudi Arabia. Hidden behind her black veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, and her country.Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: thirteen-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age, young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the "women's room."
PRINCESS is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage, and you will never forget her or her Muslim sisters.
