What women (in Egypt) want

I have a piece in The Review about the best-selling (and soon to be translated, and soon to be a soap opera), blog-based book عايزة اتجوز (I Want to Get Married). I also discuss some recent, related instances of young Egyptian women airing their problems with marriage, and divorce, online. And you can check out the blog that started it all here.
