### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read
*by N***K on 30 August 2025*

It’s a must read. Reality is harsh and difficult to swallow. I kept putting it down only to come back. A must read for everyone

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brutal, Unbelievable, and Graphic account of a powerful woman
*by A***L on 11 September 2021*

"I have triumphed over both life and death because i no longer desire to live, nor do I any longer fear to die. I want nothing. I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. Therefore I'm free. For during life it is our wants, our fears, our hopes that enslave us."Its been a long time since a book has compelled me to pause between the pages, sink in whatever is happening.Author, psychiatrist, activist Nawal El Sadaawi attempted to interview a prostitute, Firdaus, who was awaiting execution for murdering a pimp, and refusing to file for a mercy petition. After some resistance Firdaus finally agreed to tell her story few hours before she was hanged.Sexually abused and raped at a tender age, mistreatment and abuse followed Firdaus wherever life took her. Robbed of basic rights she always ended up in hands of menwho wronged her, who entrap her, exploit her, sexually abuse their 'power' over her, masquerading as a relative, husband, lover or helping hand.Firdaus thought she got a hold of her life when she learnt the power of having agency over her body, but it took some more time and pain to realise that there is no end to female oppression in this patriarchal society. She embraced death sentence as a relief from her excruciating pain.Reading this book you kind of expect the cycles of abuse might be finally ending, but they don't. They just keep getting more heartbreaking. The intensely hard hitting language feels like diving deep into Firdaus's mind and drowning in her emotions. Its raw, it's dark, it's haunting, and unsettling. I couldn't belive all this was happening to a single woman, and god knows how, how many of such stories are unheard.One of the most incredibly powerful piece of literature I've ever read.
