Read for my arab literature in translation class. I read an English translation but I think you can still feel the quality of her writing.

Anbara Salam Khalidi seems to be unfairly unknown (at least in Western countries). This is her memoir in which she wrote about the end of the Ottoman Empire, Arab nationalism, the French colonisation of Lebanon, and Palestine. This book can act as a testimony of history. She actively took part in the feminist movement in Lebanon and she depicts in her book the early years of Arab feminism.
