I Killed Scheherazade: Confessions of an Angry Arab Woman by Joumana Haddad
2.0
#readtheworld Lebanon
I was hoping to like this better. While the author had some great points, I think this could have benefitted from further research and development.
I felt the author needed to commit to her arguments, especially with such an agressive, attention-getting title. However, I felt she was very hesitant to drive her point home. She would present an argument, but then backtrack to "well, not ALL Arab women."
The author's writing is beautiful, and I would be more inclined to read some of her poetry, as I think it would be more powerful.
