Quote of the day

It will be interesting to see exactly which customs the Vatican is going to allow from the past rich five centuries of Anglican worship, life and thought.

Women and Memory: “I’m the Story”


The Women and Memory Forum based in Cairo aims to re-read Arab tradition and cultural history in order to promote a society based on justice and equal opportunities for men and women. One of the ways the forum works is through public story telling performances. Jane Gabriel has been in Cairo to meet the writers and actors.

I'm the Story was performed in the Wekkalat el-Goury Theatre, Cairo in June 2008.



The extracts heard in this podcast were performed by Hadia Hasb-Allah, Mona Ibrahim and Mounira Soliman.
