Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia
This
book was well written and I found the book was insightful into the plight of women in the Muslim
culture, insight into how excessive wealth can affect behavior and abuse
by Muslims outside of their own culture as well. It deserves 4-stars
but readers will find it disturbing on how females are valued and
treated in the Muslim culture and there are many examples in which the
abuse is truly criminal. This continues to haunt me and I believe it is
very important that the world know and understand the plight of women
in many of the Muslim cultures. Both the individual within Saudi Arabia
and Jean Sasson put their lives at risk to inform the world as to the
plight of women in the Muslim culture which is so courageous. This
abuse as it is so foreign to any culture that I have experienced and I
cannot fathom that slavery, devaluation and abuse of females still
exists in this century. It is truly medieval and needs to be addressed
by the world now, not later.
