Women Rising In The Arab World

Penguin Books

It was not so long ago that the only human females in the Arab world were children and married women.  But that is changing, despite continued pressure to conform from men. 

Arab women are increasing their education and independence, a trend noted in Katherine Zoepf's book Excellent Daughters

The author is well-versed in the subject matter, covering women in Arab countries for more than ten years.  She joins us for an interview.
