(Week 3 and 4) Well, just one mishap...

Alright, outside little twins aside, I am impressed with this book. It goes into detail, it explores the fact that women, while oppressed and fighting for their rights, do want a good family structure and a mutual lifestyle with men (where I was expecting more of a militant outlook.)

While I agree with Ahmed's premise and means to a more peaceful end, I do see Amin's point more; that a woman-while needing to be a part of the society and, by the religion, kept from the prying eyes of man who aren't husbands- but it is the husband's job to control their own urges, not the women to control who they look for the men. They should be able to do it themselves. That's a very important argument to all of this.
