Where could she turn for advice and inspiration when it seemed there was nobody else like her? Today, Mooro is determined to explore and explode the myth that she must identify either as ‘Western’ or as one of almost 400 million other ‘Arabs’ across the Middle East. Through countless interviews and meticulous research, as well as her own unique experience, Mooro gives voice to the Middle Eastern women who, like her, don’t fit the mould. Women under pressure to conform to society’s ideals of how a woman should look and behave, what she should want and be. Women who want to think and act and love freely, without feeling that every choice means ‘picking a side’. Women who are two things at once and, consequently, neither. Part memoir, part social exploration, this is a book for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1591879935981-0O794G2UB0Y0FXUU7AC8/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+13.51.51.png The Greater Freedom 21 Books from the 21st century that explore the Arab woman’s experience - Scene Arabia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1591880045012-ML7ABRW6AD1KTXZN3YGM/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+13.53.46.png The Greater Freedom Alya in the Keds Handbook https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1591880175134-5XKC7CIL6VZ59RM6AJY3/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+13.56.00.png The Greater Freedom 8 Arab Storytellers/Speakers Breaking Boundaries and Inspiring Us Every Day - Teen Times https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1585843860667-J2D8SS3TMB0XMCC87NZN/Screen+Shot+2020-04-02+at+17.10.40.png The Greater Freedom - “If you don’t like the story, you should write your own” - Azeema Magazine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1585844049096-B86EBHTUPFBSGZQYRMAK/Screen+Shot+2020-04-02+at+17.13.45.png The Greater Freedom - “Get Married ASAP”: Overcoming Stereotypes About Middle Eastern Women - Refinery29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1585843923903-9ZXGVQEB41NJZACX01WH/Screen+Shot+2020-04-02+at+17.11.43.png The Greater Freedom - Egyptian-British journalist Alya Mooro’s search for ‘The Greater Freedom’ - Arab News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1591879803499-JIE7RPRX40R160C0GNEG/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+13.49.50.png The Greater Freedom Video interview with Cairo Scene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1591878918370-2N2X188MN1ZYBEYR78G2/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+13.34.56.png The Greater Freedom Video interview with Womena https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1591879759691-6IA82F10D3XB13EO8BCH/Screen+Shot+2020-06-11+at+13.48.59.png The Greater Freedom Interview with Mxogyny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1585844663762-S4IYKRIGRJBYSV8A6SL3/Screen+Shot+2020-04-02+at+17.24.09.png The Greater Freedom - Grazia Book Club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e6a28b12673eb9d22c97/1585844181734-F31XN1KFY4ZSDBXXGVM8/Screen+Shot+2020-04-02+at+17.15.48.png The Greater Freedom - Five questions for...

The Greater Conversation is a newsletter and online community centering Middle Eastern women’s experiences with a mission to connect and embolden through storytelling. It was born from the response to my debut bestselling book The Greater Freedom: Life as a Middle Eastern Woman Outside the Stereotypes, and a desire to facilitate continued conversation. Through the stories told, discussions we have and the community we build together, my hope is that we all feel more understood and less alone, and thus emboldened. https://www.alyamooro.com/general-1 daily 0.75 2020-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847902870-ZOUR0EX0L2QSQNRC1SP2/image-asset.jpeg General 1 - Make it stand out.
