Dear reader,Feminist writer Mona Eltahawy has made international waves for her criticism of everything from religious veiling of women to misogyny in Arab societies. “The interview ... put in the spotlight the reality of Muslim women who decide not to wear the veil. In Spain there is a great lack of awareness about it,” Marina said, noting that many Muslim women in Spain do wear a veil. “Thanks to Mona Eltahawy, people can delve into the different reasons why Muslim women take this decision [not to]: piety, freedom, imposition, racism,” Marina said. Eltahawy is also critical of Western governments that attempt to ban various garments used for religious veiling.
