Feminism has failed Muslim women by colluding in their oppression, the
US author tells John Sutherland
Tuesday April 4, 2006
The Guardian
In 1961, Phyllis Chesler agreed to marry her college sweetheart, a
young, westernised Muslim man who had come to study in the US. At his
request, they married and lived in his home country, Afghanistan. "When
we arrived in the country they took my American passport away - very
typical with foreign wives," she says. "Then I found myself clapped up
in very posh purdah. Here I was in this gorgeous country, but I wasn't
supposed to go out without the chauffeur and without servants in tow
and other women of the family.
