    The book consists of seven chapters each of which begins with a short story and real events that took place in an Arab country like Iraq, or Egypt, or Jordan, or Palestine, & each story opens the door to discussing one of many difficulties that face women in the Arab world. Although the situations might be dark but there’s still hope at the end of each chapter & an urge to look for practical solutions. The book tackles many issues related to woman, their role in the house, work & community, & being the guardian of the family honor bearing on her shoulders the responsibility of maintaining its name since birth and until her death. The book also raises the question about the status of woman & if she only fits as a painting on the wall at the man’s museum. More talk is mentioned about violence against women exploring the types of violence to make them aware of it.  Finally, the book presents a proposal to the leaders of the church in the Arab world reminding them of the Christian woman who despite the distinctive status she has in the eyes of God, is still under the oppression in the church, home, and community.
