This book argues that misogyny is too complex to eradicate with superficial changes. Like a national anthem, misogyny in the MENA region has acquired a sacred status. Rather than exaggerate Western agency, this book makes Muslim agency visible. Stories of violence need to be told boldly because the non-West, too, is deserving of feminist critique.
