The Muslim woman as constructed by book covers designed to make white people feel better about themselves. Note two cases of the same image used twice.

I remember my professors at the AUC talking about how difficult it was to get published as an Arab female writer if they weren’t writing about either: 

  • oppression, or
  • escaping oppression

Proof of that is above. God forbid there be some other story of interest to tell. 

I’m actually noticing heavy exoticisation archetypes in the FONT chosen.

Ridic.

I made some new covers

For the discerning Muslim woman

look for my next bestseller.

back when this happened. oh man.

I’m laughing so hard I can’t even add coherent commentary to this beautiful post

i actually own one of these books and another one i think by an author on here and now that i see my name (Nadia) i’m thrilled to read that one. but yes i am always pissed that the only books i see about us are the ones of 7 yr olds sold to men etc etc ugh

    So much of this! I mean, in many places Muslimahs ARE oppressed, but that is certainly NOT the totality of the Muslimah...
