Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Dreams of Trespass: Tales of a Harem Girlhood is a novel by Fatima Mernissi; the UK title has been The Harem Within: Tales of a Moroccan Girlhood. It describes her fictionalised youth in a Moroccan harem during the 1940s, and explores the themes of Islamic feminism, Arab nationalism, French colonialism and the clash between the traditional and the modern. It is a fictional work, although this fact is only noted in the French version, not the English. The book centers around the harem experiences of a girl named Fatima. The women around her endure patriarchal rules that restrict their lives. They challenge such rules as un-Islamic, and Fatima's mother ensures that Fatima gets an education. The book has been seen as challenging Orientalist stereotypes of Muslim women, and being an example of Islamic feminist literature.
