Saadawi draws from her own experiences being prosecuted for speaking out against injustices against women in Egypt, painting a sympathetic portrait of victims of the stigmatized, poorly regulated sex industry. Set in Cairo, Egypt, it follows sex worker Firdaus, who commits to her trade out of desperation, murders her abusive pimp, and then awaits her death sentence.

And although some have argued against the need for, or desirability of, maintaining any ‘historical consciousness’, ‘historicisation’-the putting of experience into temporal narrative form-is virtually universal, and it is hard (at least in our developed Western culture) to see how life would be possible without the application of some such provision of meaning, that links together (however arbitrarily) the past and present and future. We use language, without thinking about it as such, during our every waking moment, and quite often in our dream-filled sleep.
