Daughters Of Arabia By Jean Sasson

Excerpts,
Millions of readers from around the world were shocked at Princess Sultana's extraordinarily open and honest story.[/i]Princess[i],the first hand expose of women's lives behind the veil inside the royal family of Saudi Arabia. In [/i]Daughters of Arabia[i], the princess turns the spotlight on her teenage daughters, Maha and Amani.
Surrounded by unbelievable opulence, Sultana's daughters have grown up taking their luxuries for granted. Yet,stifled by the horrendous restrictions imposed on all females, even royals, they have reacted in very different but equally desperate ways.
This is a compelling story, set against the background of a turbulent society pitting authoritarian rule against fundamentalist religious demands, external political pressures and the tug of economic hardship in a land overflowing with oil revenues. This is the land that produced Osama Bin Laden. And yet it is a land of beauty, history and religion. Home of Islam's holiest sites. It is in this environment of paradox and contrast that Sultana tries to rear her daughters as she seeks to expose injustice .In her courageous quest, Sultana once more strikes a chord amongst all women lucky enough to live their lives in freedom.

I'm still in the middle of it but I think its absolutely brilliant! A true life story too. . . . . 

I posted something else originally but I think I was referring to the wrong book.

Thanks.
