With contributions from a distinguished set of literary scholars, Ernest Emenyonu and Maureen N. Eke's collection is a useful guide for both scholarly and general readers of Saadawi's work, giving them an understanding of her contents, style and narrative technique as well as her feminist vision and activism. Saadawi's concern for the women of the Arab world has progressively blossomed into a concern for the struggles of women the world over - the underprivileged, the subaltern and the disenfranchised. She aptly describes herself as a socialist feminist.
