Mona Eltahawy on the Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls
b'Be angry, ambitious, profane, violent, attention-seeking, lustful, and powerful. These are the \\u201cseven necessary sins\\u201d that Egyptian writer and activist Mona Eltahawy says women and girls are not supposed to commit \\u2013 but absolutely should. Eltahawy advocates a muscular, out-loud approach to teaching women and girls to harness their power.\\n\\n\\nEltahawy came to Intelligence Squared to tell the stories of activists and ordinary women around the world from countries including South Africa, China, Nigeria, India, Bosnia and Egypt who are fighting back against these taboos and tapping into their inner fury. Rather than teaching women and girls to survive the patriarchal system, they have found themselves in, Eltahawy uses these stories to show them how to dismantle it.\\xa0\\n\\n\\nBuy the book with a special Intelligence Squared discount here:\\xa0https://www.primrosehillbooks.com/product/the-seven-necessary-sins-for-women-and-girls-mona-eltahawy/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/intelligencesquared.\\n \\n\\xa0See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
