Dreams of trespass: tales of a harem girlhood

My harem frontiers

Scheherazade, the king, and the words

French Harem

Yasmina's first co-wife

Chama and the Caliph

Tamou's horse

Harem within

Aquatic dishwashing

Moonlit nights of laughter

Men's salon

World War II: view from the courtyard

Asmahan, the singing princess

Harem goes to the movies

Egyptian feminists visit the terrace

Princess Budur's fate

Forbidden terrace

Mina, the rootless

American cigarettes

Mustaches and breasts

Silent dream of wings and flights

Skin politics: eggs, dates, and other beauty secrets

Henna, clay, and men's stares.
