Nawal El Saadawi
“Revolutionary men with principles were not really different from the rest. They used their cleverness to get, in return for principles, what other men buy with their money.”
Nawal El Saadawi

Nawal El Saadawi
“Life is very hard. The only people who really live are those who are harder than life itself.”
Nawal El Saadawi, Woman at Point Zero

Nawal El Saadawi
“Yet not for a single moment did I have any doubts about my own integrity and honour as a woman. I knew that my profession had been invented by men, and that men were in control of both our worlds, the one on earth, and the one in heaven. That men force women to sell their bodies at a price, and that the lowest paid body is that of a wife. All women are prostitutes of one kind or another.”
Nawal El Saadawi, Woman at Point Zero

Nawal El Saadawi
“I want nothing. I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. Therefore I am free. For during life it is our wants, our hopes, our fears that enslave us.”
Nawal El Saadawi, Woman at Point Zero

Nawal El Saadawi
“Men impose deception on women and punish them for being deceived, force them down to the lowest level and punish them for falling so low, bind them in marriage and then chastise them with menial service for life, or insults, or blows.”
Nawal El Saadawi, Woman at Point Zero
