My memoirs in the women's prison

If the hardest moment in the life of the condemned person to death is the moment just before the falling of the guillotine on his neck, then the hardest moment in my life was the moment before I entered the prison cell. Although the duration that the writer Dr. Nawal El Saadawi spent inside the women's prison was short, she left a great impact on herself, and through it, she was able to express that suffering through the lines of this book to the world, not only her suffering as a political prisoner, but also the suffering of the other female prisoners convicted of crimes such as theft, murder, prostitution, and others. The author also dedicates many pages to the circumstances of President Sadat’s rule; describing it as a period of fear, terror, individual rule, continuous surveillance, and detention on charges of sabotage and inciting sedition, until the news of Sadat’s death came, and she was released from prison to a meeting inside the Republican Palace, then to her home.
