Daughters Of Arabia: Princess

Readers of Princess Sultana's extraordinary biography Princess were gripped by her powerful indictment of women's lives behind the veil within the royal family of Saudi Arabia. They were every bit as fascinated by the sequel, Daughters Of Arabia. Here, the princess turns the spotlight on her two daughters, Maha and Amani, both teenagers. Surrounded by opulence and luxury from birth, yet constrained by a restrictive lifestyle, they reacted in desperate ways. Their stories, along with others from Princess Sultana's family, are set against a backdrop of Saudi culture and social mores. The book also describes the annual pilgrimage to Makkah. Throughout, Sultana seeks to expose injustices against women in her society and advocates for her daughters and others, inspiring women with her courage.
