Publishing Perspectives and Arabic Literature have called the recent book signing by female authors a new phenomenon.
Samar Fatany, Dr. Soad Jaber, Dr. Amal Shata, and Etidal Etaiwi were seen signing their books at Virgin Megastore in Roshana International Center in Saudi Arabia. In an article in Arab News, Fatany was quoted as saying, “The Kingdom is experiencing a transformation of society. I’ve witnessed these changes with a particular eye on the changing role of Saudi women in society. This book is a reflection of the challenges associated with change and a celebration of a new era in which women take on an increasingly important role as partners in shaping the Kingdom’s future.”
