Women Book Summaries | Home |
These women live ghastly lives. The stories in this book will curl your hair - nothing is too trivial for men to use as a tool for hurting women, for damaging women's self-esteem. No woman, no matter how close to the throne, is anything other than worthless - or rather worth only her ability to bear sons. This book summary is so short because I cannot bear to read the stories again long enough to type them into the computer and turn the file into HTML code.
1) "By treating women as slaves, as property, men have made themselves as unhappy as the women they rule, and have made love and true companionship unattainable to both sexes." page 22-23
2) "The mere suspicion of sexual misconduct, such as kissing, can bring death to a young girl. In addition, public congratulations are given from the men of religion for the father's "notable" act of upholding the commands of the Prophet!" page 62
3) "We women are vassals, and the walls of our prisons are inescapable, for this grotesque disease of preeminence lives in the sperm of all men and is passed along, generation to generation - a deadly, incurable disease whose host is male and victim is female." page 120

Sunshine for Women encourages you to support our feminist sisters by purchasing their books, reading them, disseminating the ideas they contain, but most especially, by making their book available to our sisters, our daughters, and the community at large by requesting your school library, your public library, and area bookstores to carry their books. Remember it is not enough to write literature, history, and theology, we must pass these works on to future generations. Help us to preserve these works for a new generation by putting them on library bookshelves.
