All the necessary \"sins\" that women and girls require to erupt. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEltahawy knows that the patriarchy is alive and well, and she is fed the hell up: Sexually assaulted during hajj at the age of fifteen. Groped on the dance floor of a night club in Montreal at fifty. Countless other injustices in the years between. Illuminating her call to action are stories of activists and ordinary women around the world--from South Africa to China, Nigeria to India, Bosnia to Egypt--who are tapping into their inner fury and crossing the lines of race, class, faith, and gender that make it so hard for marginalized women to be heard. Rather than teaching women and girls to survive the poisonous system they have found themselves in, Eltahawy arms them to dismantle it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrilliant, bold, and energetic, \u003ci\u003eThe Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls\u003c\/i\u003e is a manifesto for all feminists in the fight against patriarchy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMona Eltahawy\u003c\/b\u003e is an author, activist, and commentator.
