About the novelOriginally published in Arabic in 1975, el Saadawi's book was plagued with controversy from the very beginning. Woman at Point Zero was rejected by Egyptian publishers and eventually published in Lebanon. In spite of many conflicting interpretations or perhaps due to them, Woman at Point Zero remains an extraordinary, foundational and influential text of women's literature, Arabic literature, African literature and the canon of world literature.  Professor Samah Selim will convene this seminar.
