Mujeres valientes

In this part of the world, in that region that runs from the Middle East to Afghanistan, there is a revolution going on. It is the women's revolution. A fight without quarter or end against the patriarchy that dominates politics, culture and society. Sometimes that fight is for mere survival. Others, a conscious and organized struggle to defend rights that are repeatedly denied them. The right to abortion, the right to an education, the right to a decent job. The right to exist freely. Txell Feixas, correspondent in the Middle East, tells us in this moving book the stories of thirteen anonymous and courageous women whose experiences move, empower and explain better than anyone the reality of what it means to be a woman today in the Arab world.
