A harrowing account of the oppression and sexism of a life under Islam. Shines a stark light on the double standards and cultural relativism applied to Muslim women.

Why are we fighting the patriarchy and freeing the nipple in the west, but support strict gender hierarchy, burkas and hijabs, systematic subjugation because it's "part of the culture"? (Hint: a religion is not a culture)

As the last chapter of the book says, "Religious rights cannot supersede human rights."
