MONA ELTAHAWY WANTS women and girls to commit sins. Not just any sins, but the seven sins she believes are necessary in order to overthrow the patriarchy.
The Egyptian-American journalist and activist, who was born in Egypt, has a new book that details these sins – and they range from anger and ambition to violence and lust.

Authors Mona Eltahawy and Jacqueline Rose take contrasting feminist approaches


Jacqueline Rose
Review by Dani Garavelli
Mona Eltahawy knows how to grab our attention. “I wrote this book with enough rage to fuel a rocket,” she writes at the start of her latest polemic, The Seven Necessary Sins For Women And Girls. “I knew I had to write it while I was still high on the glory of beating up a man who had sexually assaulted me.”
It is a clever, shocking opener, designed to make us feel uneasy. Most feminists will share Eltahawy’s rage; many will be glad she fought off the man who – it transpires – grabbed her bum in a club. But to be “high on the glory of beating up a man” – to take pleasure in meting out punishment, however great the provocation – runs counter to everything society tells us about what it means to be a woman. Such aggression is generally said to be “testosterone-fuelled”; it is the prerogative of the patriarchy.

A lifelong political commentator and activist, Mona Eltahawy’s
The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls is a call to arms for feminists across the world. Unflinching in its analysis of patriarchal violence, the book is bold and uncompromising, laying out a manifesto on how women and girls are compelled away from the very qualities that comprise their most powerful tools for liberation.

Every morning, Mona Eltahawy carefully lines her eyes in thick kohl. “It’s a ritual I gift to myself every morning,” explains the 53-year-old Egyptian author, journalist and feminist activist. “Holding that brush is like being a calligrapher, and I consider lining my eyes as a way of writing a love letter to myself. It’s a form of adornment, but it also connects me to my Egyptian heritage, because in ancient Egypt, men and women of all social classes wore eyeliner. It has become a kind of self-care for me since the pandemic began.”

Here’s our list of mostly international non-fiction for those who prefer things out of the fictional realm. 
Somebody’s Daughter by Ashley Ford  
Ford, a features writer, has a huge amount of fans in the US – but many here too in Ireland. This book, about the imprisonment of her father and its effect on her life, is sure to be a fascinating read.

Books to look out for in 2021
Irish fiction
New work that has been a long time coming generates a particular shiver of anticipation.
Small Things Like These (Faber, October) will be Claire Keegan’s first new work since her novella Foster, still a bestseller 10 years on. Her publisher says: “An exquisite wintery parable, Claire Keegan’s long-awaited return tells the story of a simple act of courage and tenderness, in the face of conformity, fear and judgment.”
