The Greater Freedom

Alya Mooro

“The Greater Freedom” is part memoir, part exploration of how life looks like for a caught-between-cultures Arab woman in the West. Written by Cairo-born, London-raised journalist Alya Mooro, “The Greater Freedom” combines personal experiences, meticulous research and countless interviews to give voice to Middle Eastern women living in the West, and examine some burning cross-cultural issues, such as beauty, sex, marriage and Islam.
