Quotes by Mona Eltahawy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A male editor I once worked with tried to dissuade me from the personal: "Who care about what happened to you?" The most subversive thing a woman can do is talk about her life as if it really matters.

It does.”
Mona Eltahawy

“The battles over women's bodies can be won only by a revolution of the mind”
Mona Eltahawy, Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution

“I believe it's the writer's job to tell society what it pretends it doesn't know.”
Mona Eltahawy
