A book signing ceremony will be held on 2 February at the Cairo International Book Fair for the Egyptian and worldwide feminist writer Nawal Saadawi’s new book Diary of an 85-Year-Old Child published by Roznama Publishing House.

Before the signing ceremony, Dr Saadawi will talk about her life and books in a seminar.

The book fair introduces two other novels by Saadawi: Soqout Al-Imam (Fall of the Imam) published by the Arab Spring Publishing House and On women, Revolution and Creation published by the Egyptian General Authority for Books. The former was banned by al-Azhar when it was first published in 2004.

Dr Saadawi, now in her eighties, has always caused controversy for her progressive views which were more often than not seen as contradictory to conservative Islamic teachings.

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
