| Princess is the story of a Saudi Arabian Princess looking to find her own unique voice within a culture set upon a doctrine of female oppression. Princess tells the story of Princess Sultana, a royal woman who lives the most privileged of material lives yet she is held back by the country she lives in. Penned by national best selling author Jean Sasson, Princess Sultana tells her story of what it is like for herself and all women living in Saudi Arabia. Lack of education, forced marriage, sexual assault and even death are all things women of this region face and she describes these experiences in great detail. With the help of Jean Sasson, Princess Sultana pulls back the veil of female oppression and opens our eyes to an often forgotten group of women. | ||
