Summary:
"In the international bestseller, Princess- The True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia,
Princess
Al-Sa'ud and the acclaimed author Jean Sasson began a remarkable series of books. Now, more than twenty-five years later, this compelling journey continues as we follow the fortunes and the dazzling life of the
Princess
, her friends and her family. But, of course, there is a less glamorous, much darker side to this engaging series, and in
Stepping
Out
of the
Shadows
Jean and the
Princess
focus their attention on how, despite positive news on civil rights reforms, Saudi women still suffer physical and psychological abuse and have little legal protection due to the archaic guardianship laws of the land. So, although this is a kingdom on the threshold of revolutionary change change spearheaded by the young Saudi Crown Prince who is keen to modernize his country - any thoughts of equal rights and the chance to lead an independent life remain little more than dreams for most Saudi women. Whilst the
Princess
acknowledges and welcomes the reforms that are on the horizon, through stories of joy and sorrow, we see how she is determined to continue to fight for equal rights for women in this, her beloved kingdom."--Back cover.
