Hello Terry,

It is devastating to hear what goes on in some third world countries.  We still have hangings, stoning, and plain out murder of women who have been raped.  These are referred to as "Honor Killings."  Women who are caught in an adulterous relationship face the same consequences.

Nawal El Saadawi has put her life on the line to free these women.  Many would have been frightened and halted their activities, but not Dr. Saadawi.  So great is her love for humanity.  A true Woman of Courage.

Hugs,

Luella

Hello, Sweet Sharon!

I thank you for your wonderful accolades, but it is Branka Babic who brought Nawal El Saadawi to my attention.  I also had never heard of her.  When I did my research I was amazed that one woman could go through so much after being beaten down time and again.  This takes strength of indescribable proportions.  Actually, it takes a being of love to continue on this path despite the persecution she has endured.

Hugs,

Luella
