Story Thyme: Inspiring Book Recommendations

A previous version of this episode discussed the author Zadie Smith in more depth, but it has been re-edited after it was brought to our attention that the author's stance on PAL has been problematic and not aligned with our values. The episode, which was filmed months before Smith's recent views were made public, was re-edited to remove specific praise of the writer's values, style, and positions on other topics. Some of the discussion around the content of one of her novels is still included in the episode to stay true to the original idea of the episode, where our hosts discuss books that impacted them over the years. Featured books in the episode: "A Woman is No Man" by Etaf Rum (@etafrum) "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig(@mattzhaig) "The Map of Love" by Ahdaf Soueif (@ahdafsoueif) 🎙️ Hosts: Elissa Freiha (@freiha), Amira Salah-Ahmed (@amiralx) Follow Womena everywhere: 🌐 -Subscribe to YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/womena) -Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/womenaco) -Instagram (http//www.instagram.com/womena) -Twitter (X) (http://www.twitter.com/womenaco) -Linked In (https://www.linkedin.com/company/womenaco) -Womena.com (https://womena.com/)
