All the men I did get to know, every single man of them, has filled me with but one desire: to lift my hand and bring it smashing down on his face.

Home to me is the world because my books have been translated into more than 30 languages.

There is not a revolution that succe Saudi Arabia paid $7 billion for the Salafists to come, and the United States and Israel are pouring a lot of money into Egypt. Why? To divide the country by religion.

To me, 'beauty' means to be natural, creative, honest - to say the truth.

Many people come here and they think my apartment is a poor relative to my name. But you cannot be radical and have money, it’s impossible.

Women were everywhere in the revolution. Women participated in it, and many women were killed. Then we had the right to speak up and gain some more rights, but what happened was there was a backlash. Why? Because we have the Salafists, Muslim Brothers, religious groups.

Unity is power; without unity women cannot fight for their rights anywhere.
