in camera El Saadawi

the short story in camera was very emotionally straining for me.  Its one of those things that make you think and feel everything possible.  I loved how she brought in all the senses for her short story weather it was a lack there of sense or one sense picking up the slack for another.  Her ability to choose word that are triggering amaze me for example when she said that the light that struck her eyes were searing.  But it is also a very sad piece where they are in a court room and they are putting her on trial for saying that the leader of the pack of men who were raping her and the mend above him were stupid. She said this because he was not making half the impact he wanted to because she was not the type of woman who held her worth by the presence between her legs but by the woman in her head, "  One of them, lying on top of her, had said: This is the way we torture you women—by depriving you of the most valuable thing you possess. Her body under him was as cold as a corpse but she had managed to open her mouth and say to him: You fool! The most valuable  thing I possess is not between my legs. You’re all stupid” (3007)  Sadly however by the end of the story we discover that the poor girl is put back in the prison to be raped and tortured some more until that head strong  woman is nothing but an empty shell.
