  1. 1. The Seven Necessary Sins For Women And Girls

    A Manifesto
    Cover of 'The Seven Necessary Sins For Women And Girls' by Mona Eltahawy

    A fierce feminist manifesto that reframes seven traditionally condemned behaviors as necessary tools of resistance, blending memoir, reporting, and political analysis to challenge patriarchy, religious and social controls over women’s bodies and voices, and to urge women and girls worldwide to embrace transgressive courage and collective action to demand rights, dignity, and equality.
