ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"A Woman Is No Man" by Etaf Rum follows the lives of three generations of Palestinian-American women: Isra, Fareeda, and Deya. Set between Palestine and Brooklyn, the novel explores the struggles women face in patriarchal societies, where cultural traditions limit their autonomy. Isra, forced into an arranged marriage, suffers under the weight of familial expectations, while her daughter Deya, raised in America, begins to question these same traditions. The book delves into themes of identity, generational trauma, silence, and the quest for independence, examining the emotional toll of restrictive gender roles and the power of reclaiming one's voice.
