I am especially grateful to them for looking after my children while I was working on the last stages of it. My friend Dr. Pauline Homsi Vinson has been very generous with her time in commenting and making valuable suggestions. I owe her a debt of gratitude . Thanks are also due to my professors, Dr. Elizabeth Boa and Dave Murray of the University of Nottingham, who supervised my Ph.D. dissertation, the original manuscript of this book. I thank the great poet Adonis for inspiring me and Dr. Nawal el-Saadawi for her generosity in responding to my questions. Special thanks to my friend Dr. Ahmad al-Issa, at the American University of Sharjah, for believing in me. I am grateful to Frances Fawkes for her suggestions and for proofreading the manuscript . I must also thank my friend Dr. Kate McKafferty for her encouragement. The librarians at both the University of Nottingham and the American University of Sharjah were very helpful.
