Three generations of Palestinian-American women living in Brooklyn are torn between individual desire and the strict mores of Arab culture in this heart-wrenching story of love, intrigue and courage. Set in an America at once foreign to many and staggeringly close at hand, A Woman Is No Man is a story of culture and honour, secrets and betrayals, love and violence. It is an intimate glimpse into a controlling and closed cultural world and a universal tale about family and the ways silence and shame can destroy those we have sworn to protect. 

« Si tu étais si attaché à ta carte d’ouvrier, c’est sans doute parce que tu étais un homme sans titre. Toi qui es né dépossédé, de tout titre de propriété comme de citoyenneté, tu n’auras connu que des titres de transport et de résidence. Le titre en latin veut dire l’inscription.

Tu as figuré sur l’interminable liste des hommes à broyer au travail, comme tant d’autres avant toi à malaxer dans les tranchées. »

This story should never have been told. It was meant to stay buried, hidden among children’s fables and nursery rhymes, safe behind painted illustrations and whispered lullabies.

It is a dissection. A peeling back of bright colors to reveal the rotting muscle beneath. Every smiling face you remember has been carved into something else, something hungry, something waiting.
