Power of the pen

I just noticed Imaan’s blog on Gaza. I am really glad you featured it. I am convinced of the importance of women in the development of a prose writing culture. (Incidentally, it is said that the first novels were written by women, with Lady Murasaki’s 源氏物語 a leading contender.) Also, it is impossible not to be impressed by how powerful this blogging phenomenon is in the Arab context, partly because it is such a diverse Arab world.
