The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls
Book • 2019
Mona Eltahawy's "The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls" challenges traditional notions of femininity and societal expectations placed upon women.
The book uses the framework of seven 'sins' – anger, ambition, profanity, violence, attention, lust, and power – to argue that these are not vices but essential virtues for women to embrace in their fight against patriarchy.
Eltahawy encourages women to harness these qualities to dismantle oppressive systems and reclaim their agency.
The book is a powerful call to action, urging women to embrace their full selves and fight for liberation.
It's a blend of personal anecdotes, insightful analysis, and a passionate call for revolutionary change.
