39069, egyptian feminist Nawal el Saadawi Posted by Trace, Thu Mar-17-05 09:04 AM
i was the only person of color in my jr year's Third World Feminisms class. one of the only ppl i really remember reading about is nawal el saadawi. i liked her because she was so outspoken on the superior attitudes of western feminists; it seemedl ike i was the only person, aside from my professor, who understood what she was saying. we read 'the hidden face of eve' and like half the class was offended at what she was saying about them, essentially, but i rode for her. made for some interesting and fiery discussions.
plus its a good book.
