Reseña: When Jean Sassons book Princess: Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia was published it became an immediate international bestseller. It sold to 43 countries and spent 13 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list. Now in this long-awaited compelling new book Sasson and the Princess Sultana return to tell the world what it means to be a Saudi woman today. Through advances in education and with access to work Saudi women are breaking through the barriers they are becoming doctors social workers business owners and are even managing to push at the boundaries of public life. Major steps forward have undoubtedly been made. But this is not the whole story. Sadly despite changes in the law all too often legal loopholes leave women exposed to terrible suppression abuse and crimes of psychological and physical violence. For many the struggle for basic human rights continues. This fascinating insight will include personal stories of triumph and heartbreak as told to Princess Sultana her eldest daughter and author Jean Sasson. Each of these stories will offer the reader a glimpse into different aspects of Saudi society including the lives of the Princess her daughter and other members of the Al-Saud Royal family.
