The women in this film — secular and more observant, in jeans and hijabs — deliberately challenge the simplistic picture of themselves as “perennial victims, perennially subservient” and are, to a woman, clearly fed up with having to respond to a stereotype that has nothing to do with their reality. Says one distinguished writer, Adhaf Soueif, she wants to “present Islam as a feminist faith.” While the film is short — and will not be a revelation to those who have been following the events in Egypt closely — it’s both a good overview from a woman’s perspective and an eloquent demonstration of the importance of the female voice in both the revolution and the country’s future. And it ends on a heartening note: “I’ve never been as comfortable as a woman as I have been in the past two days.”
