About This Novel

"Algerian Women in the Room" was originally a famous painting by Delacroix in 1832, shortly after Algeria was conquered by France. A century and a half later, Algeria has gained independence for twenty years. What was the daily life of those Algerian women who played important roles in the War of Independence? What efforts do they still need to make to expand their freedom? Asia Jibar tells us about women's survival experience and plight, resistance and obedience, the harshness of the law towards women, and the turbulent status of women. This has made this book receive widespread attention and become a classic. This short story collection was first published in 1980, and now has new chapters.
