The Frontline Club presents:
INSIGHT WITH JOUMANA HADDAD
Confessions of an Angry Arab Woman
The West's perception of Arab women has become increasingly associated with the victim, oppression and the veil. As a poet, writer and journalist Joumana Haddad has fought against such simplistic stereotyping of the Arab woman.
In her new book I Killed Scheherazade: Confessions of an Angry Arab Woman Joumana Haddad tells the story of her own intellectual development and the impact of literature on her life. She challenges the notion of the oppressed Arab woman so frequently depicted by the West and explores what it means to be an Arab woman today.
She will be talking to BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen about her work and her mission to challenge notions of the oppressed woman under the veil.
