The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls by Eltahawy Mona

‘The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls’ identifies seven sins women and girls are socialised to avoid anger, attention, profanity, ambition, power, violence and lust. With essays on each, Mona Eltahawy creates a manifesto encouraging women worldwide to defy, disobey and disrupt the patriarchy. Drawing on her own life and the work of intersectional activists from around the world, `MeToo and the Arab Spring, Eltahawy’s work defines what it is to be a feminist now.
