Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi

Newly reissued, this powerful work about a woman on death row telling her story on the eve of her hanging builds to a blood-curdling indictment of patriarchal society.

From her prison cell, Firdaus, sentenced to die for having killed a pimp in a Cairo street, tells of her life from village childhood to city prostitute. Society's retribution for her act of defiance - death - she welcomes as the only way she can finally be free.
