Dreams of trespass: tales of a harem girlhood

My harem frontiers

Scheherazade, the king, and the words

The French Harem

Yasmina's first co-wife

Chama and the Caliph

Tamou's horse

The harem within

Aquatic dishwashing

Moonlit nights of laughter

The men's salon

World War II: view from the courtyard

Asmahan, the singing princess

The Harem goes to the movies

Egyptian feminists visit the terrace

Princess Budur's fate

The forbidden terrace

Mina, the rootless

American cigarettes

Mustaches and breasts

The silent dream of wings and flights

Skin politics: eggs, dates, and other beauty secrets

Henna, clay, and men's stares.
