# Nawal El Saadawi

> An Egyptian physician who turned a scalpel on patriarchy itself. Her books on women, Islam, and power cost her a prison cell under Sadat and decades of controversy - but made her one of the Arab world's most unignorable voices on sex, class, and what colonialism did to both.

## Bio

Nawal El Saadawi was born in Egypt in 1931 and trained as a physician and psychiatrist before her writing pulled her into collision with the state. Her books dissected the mechanics of women's lives under patriarchy in the Global South - sexuality, social class, the inheritance of colonial wounds - in prose that religious and political authorities found intolerable. She founded the Arab Women's Solidarity Association and co-founded the Arab Association for Human Rights, organizing where others only wrote. Universities on three continents gave her honorary degrees; the Council of Europe awarded her the North-South Prize in 2004, Belgium the Inana International Prize in 2005, and the International Peace Bureau the Seán MacBride Peace Prize in 2012. She died in March 2021, decades past the prison term and the bans, still arguing.
