Since I work in the Library's acquisitions department I always see the titles before they're on the shelf. Today we received a book request from a professor here at WMU. It's titled When a Woman Aspires; it's author is Sultan Al Zaabi. The title made me curious so I "googled" it, and found this description: "When a Woman Aspires’ talks about one of the most important issues not only in the Emirati society but throughout the Gulf region, The setting of the novel revolves around an energetic, smart, persistent and ambitious Emirati woman seeking success. However, the woman’s ambition clashes with the ideologies of others around her, largely those of men who believe that a woman belongs to her home rather than the workplace."
I feel this is relevant to our class' discussion, and similar to the texts/films we have been looking at recently.
(p.s. funny that the woman on the cover is blond and is not wearing a vail)
