Today all across the Middle East we observe a backlash of patriarchy. Fundamental women’s rights that we thought we had can be lost easily. In truth, not only the Middle East but all over the world, women, especially Muslim women, are increasingly asking the most difficult questions and having the most engaging discussions on identity, religion, faith, freedom and sexuality. Prior to her LSE Literature Festival talk, Elif Shafak answers thought-provoking questions about some of the most compelling issues of our times.
