Sinopse

'Pairs the artist's playful illustrations with discussions of sexuality, gender-based violence and censorship.' – TIME magazine
'In my country, Morocco, it's hshouma (shameful) to discuss certain subjects, notably sexuality and the body, and even more so to want to experience these things. To understand what we're going through, I suggest that together we look at the reign of hshouma in its educational, religious and political dimensions. To break these taboos, I hereby testify to my life as a young Moroccan woman…'
The women Zainab Fasiki draws are compelling and real – whether naked, wearing the veil, in lingerie, in town or in the public baths. They celebrate the human form and its beauty, mocking a hypocritical masculinity that is afraid of bodies, and challenging one of the pillars on which patriarchal societies rest – whether in North Africa or in Western countries. Part artistic project, part educational initiative, but also playful and humorous, this graphic novel breaks down the taboos associated with sex education and gender identity and exposes everyday misogyny. Hshouma is an important book, and Fasiki is a powerful new voice of international feminism.
'Aims to break taboos in Morocco, in particular to change the way women and their bodies are perceived in society.' – UN WOMEN
'Her book took her to a wider audience, in a country where sex education is also taboo.' – Global Times

“We seek him here, we seek him there, Those Frenchies seek him everywhere" 
 
“It was long past midnight when at last Marguerite retired to rest" 
 
“Money and titles may be hereditary,” she would say, “but brains are not.” 
 
The story is set during the Reign of Terror following the French Revolution. The title is the nom de guerre of its hero and protagonist, a chivalrous Englishman who rescues aristocrats before they are sent to the guillotine. Sir Percy Blakeney leads a double life: apparently nothing more than a wealthy fop but in reality a formidable swordsman and a quick-thinking escape artist. The band of gentlemen who assist him are the only ones who know his secret identity. He is known by his symbol, a simple flower, the scarlet pimpernel. Opening at the New Theatre in London's West End on January 5, 1905, the play became a favorite of British audiences, eventually playing more than 2,000 performances. 
  
Baroness Emma Orczy, usually known as Baroness Orczy or to her family and friends as Emmuska Orczy, was a Hungarian-born British novelist and playwright.
