This is an article which was the source of discussion on the BBC World Service's Newshour yesterday. The article looks at attitudes towards women in the Arab/Middle East written by an Arab woman and a journalist herself, Mona Eltahawy. She appeared on Newshour to defend her article after it was criticised by another female writer as being the work of an "Anglophile". Both writers appear in discussion on the program. It is an angry article but I can understand why there is so much anger and impatience with the poor treatment of women. Have a read and see what you think, or listen to the discussion on Newshour here.
