Read this wonderful, but appalling book (true story) over December:
Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia
PRINCESS describes the life of Sultana Al Sa'ud, a princess in the royal house of Saudi Arabia. Hidden behind her black veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband and her country.
Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: thirteen-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age, young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the "women's room."
PRINCESS is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage, and you will never forget her or her Muslim sisters.

Before I only vaguely knew of the struggles of women in Saudi Arabia.
- aaron695 8y agoIt goes without saying this is fake story/book. Google it for yourself to decide, but just your description should tip you off. These books are common Iraq, North Korea and Saudi Arabia is seems. They are not propaganda in themselves, but they fit a narrative people don't want to dispel and are great reading. But they just are not true. Here's a article to start you off https://www.wrmea.org/1996-october/princess-plagiarism-suit-provides-rare-look-into-literary-arab-bashing.html https://www.wrmea.org/1996-october/princess-plagiarism-suit-... But remember the story it stole from would of itself been in part a lie. All good stories are.
