feminist finds herself
By Zeba Talkhani
'A brave new voice that reaches out to us all' Miranda Doyle, author of A Book of
Untruths 28-year-old Zeba Talkhani charts her experiences growing up in Saudi
Arabia amid patriarchal customs reminiscent of The Handmaid's Tale, and her
journey to find freedom in India, Germany and the UK.Talkhani offers a fresh
perspective on living as an outsider and examines her relationship with her
mother and the challenges she faced when she experienced hair loss at a young
age.Rejecting the traditional path her culture had chosen for her, Talkhani
became financially independent and married on her own terms in the UK.
Drawing on her personal experiences Talkhani shows how she fought for the
right to her individuality as a Muslim feminist and refused to let negative
experiences define her.
