My new book calls for defying, disobeying & disrupting patriarchy through the "seven necessary sins" that women and girls are not supposed to commit: to be angry, ambitious, profane, violent, attention-seeking, lustful, and powerful. You can now pre-order.
I illustrate each “sin” with stories of activists & ordinary women around the world--from South Africa to China, Nigeria to India, Bosnia to Egypt--who are crossing the lines of race, class, faith, and gender. Coming this Sept via @BeaconPressBks.
And with this 🔥🔥 cover from @BeaconPressBks design team, I’m counting the days until September Boos cover: Title The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls by Mona Eltahawy. Red background, yellow type with a purple middle finger serving as the “i” in “Sins”
I’m editing & miss writing so it’s time to ponder next book, working ideas:
- FEMINIST GIANT’s Guide to Losing your Virginity*
- Gender Apartheid**
- Feminism, Football, Fucking***

*Virginity as a word & concept must be destroyed & erased.
**Not just in Saudi Arabia
***Memoir
