I don't want to give too much away, but I will say that in a lot of those types of cultures, women are treated as property. They are isolated from the outside world except, perhaps, by internet. It's definitely thought-provoking.Rosemary Khathibe wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 09:19 I wonder how culture is one of the aspects causing women to join Islamic Jihad. More reason for me to read the book. Fascinating review!

Thanks bookowlie! It was definitely eye-opening to me. I have one Dunkin Donuts where the employees are always wearing veils. I've begun to see them a bit differently now.

Yes, there were a few women that got lucky. However, their lives will still never be the same. How do you fit back into your community after something like that? Thanks for your comments.
