Following each woman between home and work, Chang powerfully observes the near-impossible balancing act that Egyptian Women strike every day.
She also weaves in the history of Egypt\'s vaunted textile industry, colonization, and independence, a century of political upheaval, and the social history of Islam in Egypt, all of which shaped the country it is today and the choices available to Riham, Rania, and Doaa.

What happens to the Women who choose to Work in a country struggling to reconcile a traditional culture with the demands of globalization? In this sharply drawn, immersive portrait of Egyptian society, veteran reporter Leslie T.
