Rebel - My Escape from Saudi Arabia to Freedom

Informationen zum Autor Rahaf Mohammed was eighteen years old when she dramatically escaped from Saudi Arabia, capturing world-wide attention through her Twitter account. The daughter of a high-profile politician, Rahaf was raised according to an oppressive interpretation of Islam, where women and girls are given virtually no freedom. Knowing this, she staged an international escape in January 2019, which was sabotaged by the Saudi authorities. Rahaf was eventually granted asylum by Canada, where she still resides. Klappentext 'Through her courageous resistance, she has, for a moment, drawn global attention to the ongoing struggle of Saudi women. The striking image of a young woman, wielding nothing but a cellphone, facing down the force of an oppressive government is an apt metaphor for this fraught moment in Saudi Arabia's history.'
