Nawal El Saadawi
To me, 'beauty' means to be natural, creative, honest - to say the truth.
Nawal El Saadawi
First of all, I hated the medical profession. Medical education in Egypt was taken from the British, French, colonial educational system. And it's very, very lacking - there is no sexology. I never read the word clitoris in any medical book when I was educated.
