Fadwa Dadoun, a Moroccan writer and president of the Women’s Organization of the Authenticity and Modernity Party in the Taounate region, has published her third book, titled “I Am Not Half a Woman: A Woman’s Behind-the-Scenes Account of Life at Home and in Society.”
Dadoun’s foray into the world of writing and authorship began several years ago with the book *The Moroccan Desert: No to Distorting History*, followed by *Women in the Reign of King Mohammed VI: The Soft Revolution*, which was published in March of this year.
Dadoun’s success is not limited to writing and the literary sphere, but extends to the political and party arena; in doing so, she blends culture and politics as fields of engagement and struggle, and she certainly seeks to challenge the usual stereotype of women in politics—one that confines them to a narrow scope when they are capable of breaking into broader fields (intellectual, cultural, sports, etc.), without this negatively affecting the duties and responsibilities entrusted to her in relation to political and party affairs.
