Feminist Author, Commentator & Disruptor of Patriarchy
Mona Eltahawy Biography
Mona Eltahawy is an award-winning feminist author, commentator and disruptor of patriarchy. Her latest book is an anthology on menopause that she edited called "Bloody Hell! And Other Stories: Adventures in Menopause from Around the World." In its starred review, Publishers Weekly described it as “a fascinating look at not only the physical aspects of menopause but the social and political; readers seeking a shame-free approach to the subject will find solidarity in no short supply. Loud and proud, this hits all the marks.”
Her first book "Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution" targeted patriarchy in the Middle East and North Africa. In a review for The Washington Post, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Connie Shultz described it as “a small but packed manifesto, incendiary by design...With this book, [Mona Eltahawy] is wisely exploiting her fame to further her cause, which is the physical and emotional emancipation of Arab women.”
Her second book "The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls" took her disruption worldwide. Writer and veteran feminist activist Gloria Steinem called it “shocking, brave, gloriously unfeminine, and right on time. This global MeToo is the ultimate and intimate TimesUp for patriarchy. Reading it will free you, and acting on it will free us all.”
Eltahawy is working on a memoir to be called "The King Herself: How Hatshepsut Helped me Unbecome."
Her commentary has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and other media around the world. She writes the newsletter FEMINIST GIANT.
