Princess by Jean Sasson A shocking true story of
life behind the veil, in a
land where Kings stillrule, Arabian Princess Sultana,
revealed her story through Jean
Sasson. The author, Jean
Sasson, spent over ten years
living and working in Riyadh and
was incensed at the inequality of women within the country, and
the power that men hold, and it
was during this time that she
met Princess Sultana. The
Princess, the youngest in a
family of eleven surviving
children, including only one boy,
begged Sasson to write her
biography, based on her diaries
even from childhood.
Think of a Saudi Arabian
princess and what do you
see…? Woman glittering with
jewels, living a life of
unbelievable luxury, she has
gold, palaces, swimming-pools,
servants, designer dresses
galore. If this image is what you
have in mind, then I can say one
has big misconception. In reality
despite of all these worldly
luxuries they are prisoners in
male dominant society. |
