Reviews

[Samiha Kamal]

This book was a part of my gender course. To be honest, it is so academic and kind of boring. It irritated me but still I somehow enjoyed it too.
I have a natural curiosity towards gender studies. This book has an organised structure, so it was helpful.
There are short tables, if you only read those you will know a lot by investing a short period of time. So if you want to explore gender studies, life of women in different countries you can give it a try.
