This edited volume focuses on the writings of Nawal El Saadawi, generally acclaimed as the Arab world s leading feminist and iconoclast. Saadawi s concerns and advocacy for the struggles of women of the Arab world have progressively blossomed into a concern for the struggles of women all over the globe the underprivileged, the subaltern, the disenfranchised, and all women suffering from the burdens of oppression, patriarchy, injustice, and dehumanization attributable to feudalistic, religious, political, cultural, or economic systems. She aptly describes herself as a socialist feminist.

Have you ever wondered why some animals or birds look or behave the way they do? Why does the bat fly at night? Why does the cock crow at dawn? Why does the elephant have such small eyes? Why does the mosquito buzz at the ear? Why does the dog live in people's homes and not in the bush or forest? There are answers to these questions. There is also an interesting story about each of them that may surprise you. A Feast in the Sky is one of such stories from which we learn why the tortoise, which used to have a very smooth and beautiful shell, now has a cracked shell.
