It's interesting to me that the plight of women living in the Middle East is being hotly debated by two women.
One living in New York.
One living in Washington.
At what point do we get to hear what women actually living in Egypt (or elsewhere in the region) actually have to say about how they are treated.
If Samia thinks that Mona doesn't have the authority to speak on behalf of 'us' (being Arab Muslim women) then does Samia have the right to dismiss her views as well?
As an aside, I'm not sure that Mona probably had much input into the image selection of the naked woman that was featured alongside her article. It's not typical for contributing authors to be selecting cover art. Frankly I think that Samia is over thinking the image somewhat. To me, the image was trying to put across the massage that under all that blackness, is a female human. A mother, sister or daughter. Someone who deserves respect.
Thanks for the article, Happy.
