In a country where women are not allowed to drive or take any decisions about their lives without the approval of a man, feminists have it tougher than anywhere else in the world. That's why poets like Hala Abdullah are so important for any sort of progress in Saudi Arabia. It takes courage to talk about equality and to provoke women to fight for their rights in an environment so hostile that women can be arrested for going out in public without a veil.

Some Quotes by Hala Abdullah which will give you a brief glimpse into a Saudi woman's life and the long fight ahead of them.

1. “when the whole world rests on your shoulders, never allow your knees to kiss the floor. Invite it in wholly. Let it sink into your skin. It will disappear in shame once it sees the universes you hold within you.”

2. “I am a degenerate trying to master the art of calling myself complete without my demons smirking at the falsehood of that sentiment.”

3. “You are anything, but you are nothing until you tear off the skin sewn forcefully onto your body for the skin you were born in.” 

4. “my eyes have adjusted to darkness and I'm terrified of how they don't miss the sunshine”

5. “You're pulling at the strings that keep you standing because love is a play and you're done being dragged around by hands that aren't your own.” 

6. “Here you are, chalking your pain up to destiny. You are anything but safe in your skin.” 

7. “I know; it's always been the words I don't say that can move mountains.”
