Even the Finest of Warriors (Available in Arabic here)
Even the Finest of Warriors is a research and a book project focusing on how feminist activists manage different aspects of their private lives and concurrently deal with the difficulties of being in the public space. This project is concerned with psychological health, general exhaustion, financial security and growing old as neglected intersections and moves forth from the precept that our lives and our personal struggles are worthy of documentation. It attempts to offer a space where private worries can be expressed, and to normalize the idea that ‘exhaustion’ is one of the outcomes of interacting with the public space.
