"And the rest of the world, the world of human rights and feminism, is it also a hypocrite when dealing with Saudi Arabia? How do you feel when you see a western leader shake hands or make deals with the royal family or when big sporting events are organized in her country?" But women who are controlled by men somehow make deals with themselves thinking that their life is better if they submit. Rahaf: "That is the duplicity with which women live. Didn’t she see her hesitate, consider conflicts?"
But she had had access to an education, she was a teacher. She also told her that riding a bike would cause her to lose her virginity and make her a lesbian.

Moving from Rahaf’s early days on the underground online network of Saudi runaways, who use coded entries to learn how to flee the brutalities of their homeland, to her solo escape to Canada, Rebel is a breathtaking and life-affirming memoir about one woman’s tenacious pursuit of freedom.
Raised with immense financial privilege but under the control of her male relatives-including her high-profile politician father-she endured an abusive childhood in which oppression and deceit were the norm. Now Rahaf Mohammed tells her remarkable story in her own words, revealing untold truths about life in the closed kingdom, where young women are brought up in a repressive system that puts them under the legal control of a male guardian. The teenager reached out to the world, and the world answered-she gained 45,000 followers in one day, and those followers helped her seek asylum in the West. As men pounded at the door of her barricaded hotel room, she opened a Twitter account. If forced to return home, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women in her country. In early 2019, after three years of careful planning, Rahaf Mohammed finally escaped her abusive family in Saudi Arabia-but made it only to Bangkok before being stripped of her passport.
A gripping memoir of bravery and sacrifice by a young woman whose escape from her abusive family and an oppressive culture in Saudi Arabia captivated the world.
