In "Dreams of Trespass", Fatima Mernissi transports us to her childhood in a harem in Fez, Morocco, during the 1940s. Through a series of interwoven stories, Mernissi describes the lives of the women who inhabited this space, their dreams, fantasies, and the ways in which they defied the limitations imposed by society. The author presents us with a harem very different from the one evoked by oriental imagery, a feminine world full of complexity, sensitivity, and exoticism, where women create their own reality within the walls of the house.
This book is an exploration of childhood, feminine awakening, and the mysteries of time and sex in the context of the Muslim world. Mernissi invites us to reflect on feminine power, the importance of dreams, and the ability of women to build their own identity in a restrictive environment.
Fatema Mernissi was a Moroccan feminist writer and sociologist.
