"Woman at Point Zero" is a powerful and harrowing novel based on a true story encountered by Egyptian writer Nawal El Saadawi during her time as a prison doctor. The narrative follows Firdaus, a woman sentenced to death, as she recounts the trajectory of her life marked by abuse, exploitation, and her ultimate rebellion against a patriarchal society. It is a searing indictment of systems that dehumanize women and a testament to the power of self-assertion.
Nawal El Saadawi (1931–2021) was an Egyptian writer, physician, and pioneering feminist. Through her novels, essays, and activism, she gave voice to women's struggles in the Arab world and fought relentlessly for gender equality and social justice. Her work has been translated into over 40 languages and remains influential worldwide.
