I read the Hidden Face of Eve as the Naked Face of the Arab Woman when I was a teenager in the mid-90’s (It was translated to Persian only once in 1981 with a foreword by Nawal El Saadawi to her “Iranian sisters,” where he praised their struggle against Imperialism). Reading it once again in English did not bring me the same feelings of shock and fear that I experienced years ago. Although by reading her story of circumcision some of the old emotions awaked in me, the rest of the book was the repetition of the “facts” that I have heard thousand of times since then. There was not any thing new or impressive for me this time as it was in those years. This time I am afraid to say that I was bored.
