À propos de cet audio
Princess 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: 13-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.
A New York Times best-seller, Princess was named one of the 500 Great Books by Women Since 1300. It was also an Alternate Selection of the Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club and a Reader's Digest Selection.

At 15, Samra Zafar had big dreams for herself. She was going to go to university, and forge her own path. Then with almost no warning, those dreams were pulled away from her when she was suddenly married to a stranger at 17 and had to leave behind her family in Pakistan to move to Canada. Her new husband and his family promised that the marriage and the move would be a fulfillment of her dream, not a betrayal of it. But as the walls of their home slowly became a prison, Samra realized the promises were empty ones.

Nadia Murad was born and raised in Kocho, a small village of farmers and shepherds in Northern Iraq. A member of the Yazidi community, she and her brothers and sisters lived a quiet life. Nadia had dreams of becoming a history teacher or opening her own beauty salon. On August 15, 2014, when Nadia was just 21 years old, this life ended. Islamic State militants massacred the people of her village, executing men who refused to convert to Islam and women too old to become sex slaves.

Few westerners will ever be able to understand Muslim or Afghan society unless they are part of a Muslim family. Twenty years old and in love, Phyllis Chesler, a Jewish-American girl from Brooklyn, embarked on an adventure that has lasted for more than a half-century. Drawing upon her personal diaries, Chesler recounts her ordeal, the nature of gender apartheid - and her longing to explore this beautiful, ancient, and exotic country and culture.

As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan.

A book to be read and re read
Some stories written in this precious book, are heard more often than what we would like to hear. The success here are the words used by Jean Sasson. Is so well put together that you wish the book will never end. Quite recommended not only to get informed about other cultures but to be appreciative of our freedom.

Interesting Read but…
The main character seemed naive to me. I don’t understand how you can live in a country where the majority of men have multiple wives then tell me you never imagined your husband getting a second wife.
Also, Saudi men are NOT representative of all men (I felt like the author kept generalizing).
She author needs anger management therapy.
I also don’t understand how the author fails to see the connection between her culture and her religion… Muhammad married a child (Aisha). This is a guy y’all put on a pedestal. It makes sense that your men would see it okay to marry 13 year olds.
P.S: Your culture is fucked up!

Amazing story, couldn't stop listening!
The suspense of this book will have you coming back every moment you get a chance to. As soon as it was finished I was downloading the next book to get the next phase of Princess Sultana's life. A real Saudi princess with names changed to protect her privacy/life will make you feel like you are living within the Saudi Kingdom and have a better idea of what goes on behind the veil for so many women in Saudi Arabia, let alone the privileges of living as royalty.
