Download or read book Harem Years written by Hudá Shaʻrāwī and published by Feminist Press at CUNY. This book was released on 1987 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this firsthand account of the private world of a harem in colonial Cairo, Shaarawi recalls her childhood and early adult life in the seclusion of an upper-class Egyptian household, including her marriage at age thirteen. Her subsequent separation from her husband gave her time for an extended formal education, as well as an unexpected taste of independence. Shaarawi's feminist activism grew, along with her involvement in Egypt's nationalist struggle, culminating in 1923 when she publicly removed her veil in a Cairo railroad station, a daring act of defiance.
