I love Sutana! She's a unique kind of women!!! This book helped me realize how important the Islamic Church is to Saudi Arabia's government and how the woman in that country live.This book contributed a lot to my general culture and made me want to fight even more for woman's right's!
This book left me with mixed feelings on the one hand I felt anger and horror at what Saudi women endure at the hands of their men and yet since the story teller is a rich Saudi Princess I was also put off with her wealthy life style. Did I really need to know about your servants rubbing your feet a...
The followup to 'Princess' by the same author. The Sultana now has two daughters whom she tries to protect and shield from the male-ruled country of Saudi Arabia, a 'rule' which extends into homes and families, and royalty are not exempt.
I can't give this book a star rating since I didn't finish it.I'm not a big fan of these kinds of books where we get a women telling us her live story, only for us to read all about how terrible it was to live in THAT country, in THAT culture. To me it feels more like it's commercial, bashing your ...
Okay, I'm not positive this is the book I read years ago, but it seems like it is. I'm pretty sure it was called Princess, and I know it was about one of the Arabic countries.If this is it, it was pretty good. Difficult to read sometimes, but interesting.
The conclusion of the 'Princess' trilogy. Reading the books in sequence allows the reader to follow the progression of the life of Sultana, Princess of the House of Saud, of Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, I cannot, at this time, get my hands on the second book, 'Princess Sultana's Daughters.' In this ...
A first person account (though written by an American author / friend) of a princess of Arabia, which talks about how women are viewed and treated as possessions in Saudi Arabia. and whose lives are dictated by the men. The veil and 'abaaya' that these women are required to wear hide more than their...
3.5 starsI was slightly put off by the way Princess Sultana tried to portray her life as somehow representative of what average Saudi women have to endure. The reality for most women there is so much worse. She does mention some examples of what happened to other women, but her tone is often self-...
Princess is the story of a Saudi Arabian princess called Sultana for the purposes of the story. It shows a picture of the life of a woman in the male dominated Saudi society. Her brother is treated like a god from birth while she and her sisters are subjected to whatever cruelty he desires. As Su...
I didn't know how to rate this book. I shelved it with memoirs and non-fiction, though I suspect it's probably a novel pretending to be memoir. As a fake memoir, it only gets 2 stars. If it turns out to really be the smuggled diary of Princess Sultana, though, then 5 stars and a heartfelt apology.
