Publisher's Summary
Princess describes the life of Princess Sultana Al Sa'ud, a princess in the royal house of Saudi Arabia. Hidden behind her black veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, and her country.
Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: 13-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age; young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the "women's room". Princess is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage, and you will never forget her or her Muslim sisters.
A New York Times best-seller, Princess was named one of the 500 Great Books by Women Since 1300. It was also an Alternate Selection of the Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club and a Reader's Digest Selection.

Sad reality of Saudi women
A sad but real struggle of life faced by Saudi women. If this was the situation for royal princesses, what hope would the common woman have had? Some rather depressing stories of little children, young women and more, living as little more than slaves to please the more powerful gender in their country.

Shocking yet a story you want to know more
I loved the book so much and just kept admiring this princess courage to have her words printed about the unfortunate status of women in her society.

good book
Great narration. Would have been even better to listen to it in a more regionally authentic voice since the book is in first person.
