Anchor Books, 2006.364.Print.This essay is a short biography about Nawal El Saadawi. Saadawi is an expert doctor and has published many books.

Once she arrived in the United States she taught at several American universities and became a "controversial figure". This essay offers basic information about her. The information in the essay appears to be accurate because I compared it to the same information in several other sources. This essay does not state a personal opinion or feeling towards a topic. It simply states the facts. However, the essay is not very comprehensive. This is because it is a short essay. It's not that in-depth nor does it provide much detail. This book isn't all that current either. It was published in 2006.Saadawi, Nawal El. “He has no place in heaven.” Ed. Johnson-Davies, Denys. New York.

INTRODUCTION The Brecht Forum in Manhattan hosted three extraordinary women, who spoke about the conflicts and popular uprisings that are transforming the Middle East. The first to speak was Dr. Nawal el-Saadawi, author of numerous books exploring the sexuality and legal status of Arab women, including The Hidden Face of Eve, Daughter of Isis and Woman at Point Zero. Her activism led to threats to her life, the loss of her position as Egypt's director of public health, incarceration in 1981, and exile in the United States in 1988. “I survived the events of my life thanks to the pleasure of write. The revolution gives me the same pleasure." Saadawi enthusiastically expressed his support for those defending workers' rights in Madison, Wisconsin, but encouraged Americans to demand even greater change, Egyptian style.
