'This is an immensely important book, passionate, challenging, and necessary. It should be read as widely as possible because it tells the truth -- the unvarnished, uncomfortable truth' Salman Rushdie 'Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a brilliant and courageous woman on whom Europe's liberals have collectively turned their backs. Her memoir, The Caged Virgin, is a moving testament to the power of reason and should be read by everyone who values freedom of expression higher than religious censorship, and especially by all those who don't.' Andrew Anthony, OBSERVER 'The author of THE CAGED VIRGIN has no time for lily-livered political correctness ... This is a woman of exceptional toughness and bravery. In her angry clarion call of a book, she is not afraid to question some of the most sacred tenets of Islam ... What Islam needs, she feels, is a swift does of 18th-century enlightenment -- it's time to put down the Koran and pick up Voltaire ... She writes with passion, with burning indignation ... Everyone who cares about the systematic and legalised oppression of women should study this powerful cry for reason' Kate Saunders, SUNDAY TIMES 'THE CAGED VIRGIN is Intensely felt, and filled with anger' OBSERVER 'While Hirsi Ali never holds back in her criticism of Islam, she has valid and important recommendations about improving the plight of abused Muslim women.
