Madawi Al-Rasheed's goes beyond the conventional tropes that describe women in Saudi Arabia to probe the historical, political and religious forces that have thwarted their emancipation. It demonstrates how women have become hostage to contradictory political projects that demand female piety and encourage modernity.
