Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women by Geraldine Brooks CD N64 Written-By – Charlie SextonNine Parts of Desire This is the story of Brooks' intrepid journey toward an understanding of the women behind the veils, and of the often contradictory political, religious, and cultural forces that shape their lives. In villages and capitals throughout the Middle East, she finds that a feminism of sorts has flowered under the forbidding shroud of the chador as she makes other startling discoveries that defy our stereotypes about the Muslim world.
