Woman at Point Zero

Firdaus is on death row. Her crime, the murder of a man. Born to poverty in a rural Egyptian village, her childhood dreams and ambitions had been met with neglect and abuse by the world and the men who rule it. Driven to sex work to support herself, she is faced with the moral outrage of society and the bitter knowledge that for a woman, true freedom comes only when all hope is abandoned. In Nawal el Saadawi''s landmark novel, Woman at Point Zero , published here with a new foreword, Firdaus tells her unforgettable story.>
