  In the process, the author tries to reveal the actual position of women in the Muslim world.  She researches the history and origin of these practices, which the Arab world takes for granted as practices existing from the beginning of time and authorized by Allah. Saadawi conducts in-depth research into discriminatory and often barbarous practices accepted in the Arab world, particularly Egypt.  Remarkably, she concludes that Islam has little to do with the discrimination of women, while cultural traditions, being deep-rooted in many Muslim societies, are mainly imposed by men on the entire society. Thus, it is a traditional Muslim society characterized by male dominance in all spheres of social, economic and political life that is at the root of discriminatory beliefs and practices ”“ not the teachings of Islam.  In her book “The Hidden Face of Eve: Women in the Arab World”, Nawal El Saadawi explores the current social practices that put women in a disadvantageous position and maintains their inferiority to men.   Such a view of Islam is erroneous and Nawal El Saadawi sets out to debunk this myth about Islam as a kind of anti-feminist religion.  Public opinion concerning the Muslim world perceives Islam as the ideological basis for discrimination of women.
Women in Muslim countries such as Egypt suffer from discrimination and inferior positions in society.
