Reviews
"A compelling and gripping read . . . Hankir has created a book that we are all desperate to read." -- Middle East Monitor "The authors are a who's who of excellent women writers who have done some of the best journalism in the Arab world." -- Book Riot "Our Women on the Ground is a remarkable book that fills a tremendous gap, as mainstream media coverage of the Middle East and Arab world has long been dominated by men or outsiders. The voices of these trailblazing women are even more vital today, when the region's upheaval cannot be explained without local, and especially female, perspectives." -- Hassan Hassan, New York Times bestselling co-author of ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror "With steely courage and pens of fire, these sahafiyat --Arab female journalists--tell the stories of their country's conflicts, providing rigor, depth and insight few outside commenters could match." --Molly Crabapple, author of Drawing Blood and illustrator of Brothers of the Gun "This dazzling book is so many things at once: a social primer on conflict in the Arab world; visceral narration that accommodates multiple allegiances, histories, and frames of inquiry; and a work of challenging reportage that refuses to fetishize risk and presents people living with conflict as humans, not simply subjects of violence. It elegantly demonstrates how to tell stories with humility, affection, and truthfulness." --Azadeh Moaveni, author of Lipstick Jihad and Honeymoon in Tehran "The journalists in this book have demonstrated the highest professional achievements and courage. . . . Without them, the stories of today and tomorrow will remain only partly told." --Christiane Amanpour, from the Foreword, "This dazzling book is so many things at once: a social primer on conflict in the Arab world; visceral narration that accommodates multiple allegiances, histories, and frames of inquiry; and a work of challenging reportage that refuses to fetishize risk and presents people living with conflict as humans, not simply subjects of violence. It elegantly demonstrates how to tell stories with humility, affection, and truthfulness." --Azadeh Moaveni, author of Lipstick Jihad and Honeymoon in Tehran "The journalists in this book have demonstrated the highest professional achievements and courage. . . . Without them, the stories of today and tomorrow will remain only partly told." --Christiane Amanpour, from the Foreword, "Refreshing (and long overdue) . . . Will appeal to readers of all genders and backgrounds who want to broaden their understanding of the Arab world." --NPR.org "Truly groundbreaking." --InStyle "Powerful." --Bustle "Incredibly eye-opening." -- Cosmopolitan "Refreshing and revelatory . . . A rich mosaic of an often-misunderstood region . . . [that] allows the authors to represent themselves not merely as female journalists or Arabs but as full human beings." -- Ms. Magazine "These voices and stories are much needed." -- Book Riot "In an era where the truth is put up for debate, let''s celebrate these women, who venture into conflict to get at the truth." -- Refinery29 "Remarkable [and] illuminating." -- Booklist (starred review) "[A] timely and affecting collection . . . [that] will appeal greatly to readers interested in global women''s issues, journalism, and the modern Arab world. . . . Heartrending and deeply humanistic." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Offering a blend of memoir, war reporting, cultural commentary, history, and politics, these powerful essays deliver insightful analysis." -- Publishers Weekly "These stories from the field are rare and remarkable. . . . A timely, engaging work that reveals why the journalist''s profession is so important and so endangered." -- Kirkus "Powerful [and] essential." --BookPage "[A] pioneering collection . . . [in which] complex political and social issues are discussed with nuance." --The Arts Desk "Provides an intimate glimpse into the courage and pressures bearing on the determined women who report on their own homelands." --Chatham House "Inspiring and extraordinary." -- Stylist "A beautiful book of gripping and illuminating essays." -- America Magazine "A compelling and gripping read." -- Middle East Monitor "A revelation." -- The National "Out of the gloom of the Middle East, this book brims with new voices--Arab women reporting on their world as no one else has seen it. A terrific read, full of insight and surprise." --David E. Hoffman, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Billion Dollar Spy "This astounding, affecting collection offers a sweeping panorama of the contemporary Arab experience. . . . Rich with understanding and sincere emotional connection." --Megan K. Stack, author of Women''s Work " A remarkable book that fills a tremendous gap . . . The voices of these trailblazing women are even more vital today." -- Hassan Hassan, New York Times bestselling co-author of ISIS "A dazzling book that elegantly demonstrates how to tell stories with humility, affection, and truthfulness." --Azadeh Moaveni, author of Lipstick Jihad and Guest House for Young Widows "Stark and haunting. I loved this book. . . . A must-read." --Janine di Giovanni, author of The Morning They Came for Us "With steely courage and pens of fire, these sahafiyat --Arab female journalists--tell the stories of their countries'' conflicts, providing rigor, depth and insight few outside commenters could match." --Molly Crabapple, co-author and illustrator of Brothers of the Gun and author of Drawing Blood "The journalists in this book have demonstrated the highest professional achievements and courage. . . .

Synopsis
Nineteen Arab women journalists speak out about what it's like to report on their changing homelands in this first-of-its-kind essay collection, with a foreword by CNN chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour "A stirring, provocative and well-made new anthology . . . that rewrites the hoary rules of the foreign correspondent playbook, deactivating the old clich s." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times A growing number of intrepid Arab and Middle Eastern sahafiyat --female journalists--are working tirelessly to shape nuanced narratives about their changing homelands, often risking their lives on the front lines of war. From sexual harassment on the streets of Cairo to the difficulty of traveling without a male relative in Yemen, their challenges are unique--as are their advantages, such as being able to speak candidly with other women at a Syrian medical clinic or with men on Whatsapp who will go on to become ISIS fighters, rebels, or pro-regime soldiers. In Our Women on the Ground , nineteen of these women tell us, in their own words, about what it's like to report on conflicts that (quite literally) hit close to home. Their daring and heartfelt stories, told here for the first time, shatter stereotypes about the region's women and provide an urgently needed perspective on a part of the world that is frequently misunderstood. INCLUDING ESSAYS BY: Donna Abu-Nasr, Aida Alami, Hannah Allam, Jane Arraf, Lina Attalah, Nada Bakri, Shamael Elnoor, Zaina Erhaim, Asmaa al-Ghoul, Hind Hassan, Eman Helal, Zeina Karam, Roula Khalaf, Nour Malas, Hwaida Saad, Amira Al-Sharif, Heba Shibani, Lina Sinjab, and Natacha Yazbeck, Nineteen Arab women journalists speak out about what it's like to report on their changing homelands in this first-of-its-kind essay collection, with a foreword by CNN chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour "A stirring, provocative and well-made new anthology . . . that rewrites the hoary rules of the foreign correspondent playbook, deactivating the old clichés." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times A growing number of intrepid Arab and Middle Eastern sahafiyat --female journalists--are working tirelessly to shape nuanced narratives about their changing homelands, often risking their lives on the front lines of war.
