Reddit reviews Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arab

Ummm, no, they pretty much enslave their own women too.

Here a book I read many years ago that's pretty insightful, detailing the true story of a Saudi Arabian Princess and her fight toward freedom. Every woman who is 'sporting' a burka should read it, so they can see how deranged the feminist movement has become.

The Muslim world treats it's minorities like shit, what's new?

Try reading Princess. It shows up Saudi Arabia for the sick, depraved piece of shit country that it is and the way the ramblings of a 7th century medieval camel herder turned prophet of god are applied in the 21st century.

well, in most cases these are honor killings, where the husbad/son turns the wife/woman in the house over to the 'mullahs' for passing these cruel sentences. In one, it was the father that gladly tied a stone around her (~10 yrs) neck and threw her into his own family pool!

Thanks for the information. :) I did a little googling myself and saw Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia by Jean Sasson on Amazon. It sounds like it might provide more cultural information and such so I will try to find that one and possibly the other 2 books at the library.

This. I remember my mom was obsessed with this series when I was young.

I think this is the book. The part I'm thinking of wasn't the focus of the stories it was about something one of her daughters saw. As for the other one I really don't recall, it was a long time ago and the book was really depressing, because it wasn't about the girl getting away, it was just pointing out that it happened.

For anyone interested in finding out more about some of the shit that goes down in Saudi might want to read this

I read it and it's nuts.

The House of Saud has made things worse for some of its victims after people tried to help them. In any case it doesn't do much good. For example there's the case of Rizana Nafeek who was beheaded even after Prince Charles, the King of Sri Lanka and others tried to help. Foreign workers are denied exit from that nation and imported prostitutes are sometimes enslaved. Foreign maids are charged with witchcraft and face possible execution. That's the mentality of the Saudi Royal Family, and to enforce the insanity there's the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. They keep witchcraft and other forms of misbehavior in check....

A very good book to read about what life is like for Saudi Princesses is Princess written by Jean Sasson (published 2001) as told to her by a female member of the House of Saud named Sultana. Their life can be a nightmare.

Also, for anyone interested in reading about the treatment of women in Middle Eastern cultures, Princess is about one of the hardest books I've ever read just because how sick and angry it made me feel.

Um...um... yes and no...um, yes and no...its not great, but its not the third circle of hell, its only that the punishment for falling in love is being locked in solitary confinement for life, for sex is drowning in the family swimming pool. That's not too bad, its not great, but its not the third circle of hell either...um...um... yes and no...um, yes and no....
