| Summary | "Achter den Sluier in Perzië en Turksch Arabië" by M. E. Hume-Griffith is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's eight-year experience living in Persia and Turkish Arabia as the wife of a missionary doctor, providing unique insights into Eastern women's lives, culture, and the societal constraints they face. The author's objective appears to be to shed light on the hidden lives of women in these regions, which are often inaccessible to outsiders. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the author's journey to Persia, detailing her initial arrival in Ispahan and the profound impressions of the landscapes and cultures she encounters. It highlights her transition from a foreigner to someone who builds relationships with local women, emphasizing her admiration for their strength despite the challenges they endure. Through her reflections on customs, interactions with her husband’s patients, and observations about the daily life in Persian cities, she illustrates the complexities of Eastern society, blending personal anecdotes with cultural commentary.
