Jean Sasson’s international bestseller

PRINCESS

A TRUE STORY OF LIFE BEHIND THE VEIL IN SAUDI ARABIA

A New York Times bestseller recently named as “one of the best 500 books written by women since the year 1300”

PRINCESS describes the life of Princess Sultana Al Sa’ud, a princess in the royal house of Saudi Arabia.  Hidden behind her black veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, and her country.

Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations:  thirteen-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age, young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the “women’s room.”

PRINCESS is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage, and you will never forget her or her Muslim sisters.
