Nineteen Arab women journalists speak out about what it's like to report on their changing homelands in this first-of-its-kind essay collection, with a foreword by CNN chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour

A growing number of intrepid Arab and Middle Eastern sahafiyat--female journalists--are working tirelessly to shape nuanced narratives about their changing homelands, often risking their lives on the front lines of war. From sexual harassment on the streets of Cairo to the difficulty of traveling without a male relative in Yemen, their challenges are unique--as are their advantages, such as being able to speak candidly with other women at a Syrian medical clinic or attend an exclusive beauty contest for sheep in Saudi Arabia.

In Our Women on the Ground, nineteen of these women tell us, in their own words, about what it's like to report on conflicts that (quite literally) hit close to home. Their daring and heartfelt stories, told here for the first time, shatter stereotypes about the region's women and provide an urgently needed perspective on a part of the world that is frequently misunderstood.

Great but slippery
Size: 3 Count
Always disliked how wash clothes are too gentle and soft. I don’t feel clean with them. This one however is very rough. Love it. I feel clean. I gave 4 stars b/c the cloth is very slippery. A bit hard to get a decent grip while using it. Literally slides right out of your hand.

Nice, but too small...
Size: 3 Count
...for dudes with bigger hands. The softer black side is very soft, but basically worthless if you're wanting to really scrub dead skin away. The white rougher side is really nice and after scrubbing with it, you really feel clean. You can really feel your pores come alive when you're rinsing the suds away. I've only used the rough side. Now the disappointing part is that the cloth is just too damn small. Men with larger hands will have a hard time keeping the cloth in your hand - it's not big enough to drape over your hand so it scrunches up quite a bit when you're really trying to get a good scrub with it. If they made these in a larger size I would easily give it a "5".

Perfect wash cloth
Size: 3 Count
Perfect wash cloth, a soft side and an exfoliating side. Easy to clean I just throw it in with my towels.
