The Greater Freedom: Life as a Middle Eastern Woman Outside the Stereotypes - Alya Mooro

Descriere The Greater Freedom: Life as a Middle Eastern Woman Outside the Stereotypes - Alya Mooro

\n \nThe greater freedom is to be who you actually are; to be able to live your life in the way you deem best, free from any sort of restriction to do that, or fear of repercussions for doing so.\n \nEgyptian-born and London-raised, Alya Mooro grew up between two cultures and felt a pull from both. Where could she turn for advice and inspiration when it seemed there was nobody else like her? Today, Mooro is determined to explore and explode the myth that she must identify either as 'Western' or as one of almost 400 million other 'Arabs' across the Middle East.\n \nThrough countless interviews and meticulous research, as well as her own unique experience, Mooro gives voice to the Middle Eastern women who, like her, don't fit the mould. Women under pressure to conform to society's ideals of how a woman should look and behave, what she should want and be. Women who want to think and act and love freely, without feeling that every choice means 'picking a side'. Women who are two things at once and, consequently, neither.\n \nPart memoir, part social exploration, this is a book for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.\n
