Search for Arab Feminism

I really identified with this particular piece. I took a feminism course in high school so I had a good amount of background information as to what exactly Maudi was speaking about. In this story, it is clear that Maudi wants to develop her own definition of feminism in the light of her culture. She actually enjoys cleaning the home and keeping it neat and tidy because she feels like that is the proper way to live. This goes against the typical definition of feminism because cleaning and cooking are considered very subservient, female done tasks that modern day feminists are trying to break away from. I enjoyed reading how she kind of developed her own unique position and towards the end of the story she somewhat found others who shared her unique position.
