Creating Shamsiyah: Empowering the Saudi Feminist Movement (Revised 2014) (True Stories of Life with a Saudi Princess)
One Vision, Different Paths Sequel to her enlightening memoir, "Shifting Sands: Life in Arabia with a Saudi Princess," T.L. McCown chronicles the underground awakening of the growing Saudi feminist movement within the pages of "Creating Shamsiyah." Having had the unique opportunity to share ten years with a royal family in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, T.L. details the life-changing journey with her employer and friend, Princess Madawi. Enjoy the path of their friendship and the stages of their personal development while you feel the love grow between two women from two different worlds and religions. Inspired by this bond and personal empowerment, Princess Madawi envisioned the same for her Muslim sisters. As a result, they embraced the other’s strengths to face religious, cultural, global and personal challenges in their mission to bring new ways of thought to the women in the heart of the Muslim world. Experience their journey – and unfortunately their parting – as you travel around the world and into the private world of the real women beneath the veil.
