Summary

One of the most fascinating works to fall into obscurity almost immediately after its initial publication, this 1886 autobiography by EMILY RUETE (1844-1924)-born in Zanzibar as Salamah bint Said, a princess of that realm as well as of Oman-offers a surprising perspective on the experiences of women in the Arab world in the later 19th century. Translated by LIONEL STRACHEY (1864-1927) from the original Germany-Ruete settled in Europe after becoming a Christian-and first brought to readers of English in 1907-it gives us an intimate view on: [ life in an Arabian household [ the Arab love affair with horses [ divorce in the East [ ceremonies for newborn babies [ female fashions in Arabia [ the social position of women in the East [ Muslin festivals [ the author's escape to Europe [ and much more. In this era of renewed contention between East and West, this captivating book allows us a new historical outlook on a still-secretive culture.
