To be a woman is a gift. But that gift does not come without challenges. Historically, women around the globe have fought to be heard. The stories of Arab women in particular have often been veiled in mystery. In Hear Us Speak, Suzy Kanoo lifts the veil. As a CEO, Suzy has enjoyed great success as an Arab businessperson; as a woman, she has witnessed firsthand how Arab legislation and culture has not always kept pace with a world that continues to evolve. By curating letters from a wide array of women, and one good man, Suzy reveals story after story of courageous, resilient human beings who flourish in the face of impossible odds. The letters in this book are inspiring, shocking, empowering, harrowing -- and a thousand shades between. When read together, they paint a rich portrait of what life is like for Arab women today. These are wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters. They are businesspeople, entrepreneurs, citizens, and refugees. They have seen and done remarkable things, been bruised, and emerged stronger for it. Hear Us Speak is a book by and for women, a chorus of voices that will forever change the way you see the world."--Publisher's description. 650 0 Muslim women. 650 0 Women, Arab. 650 0 Women, Arab|zMiddle East. 650 0 Stereotypes (Social psychology) 650 0 Culture conflict. 650 7 Culture conflict.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00885099 650 7 Muslim women.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01030996 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Stereotypes (Social psychology)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01431521 650 7 Women, Arab.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01178887 651 0 Middle East|xPolitics and government. 651 7 Middle East.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01241586 994 C0|bMCP
