Title: The Harem Within
Description: Bantam 1995 Paperback, 253pp. As a little girl, Fatima Mernissi was often puzzled by the idea of the harem. Even if you accepted that men and women needed to be kept apart, she asked, why couldn't it be the woman who walked freely in the streets, while men stayed locked behind the harem gates? In this story, she tells of her childhood in a Fez harem in the 1940s, a period of social transition in Morocco. Owner's Name inside. (ISBN: 9780553408140). Good.
