Publisher's Synopsis

""Behind The Veil In Persia And Turkish Arabia"" is a non-fiction book written by M.E. Hume-Griffith in 1909. The book is an account of the author's experience living in the Middle East for eight years, specifically in Persia and Turkish Arabia. Hume-Griffith was an Englishwoman who lived amongst the women of the East, gaining a unique insight into their culture and way of life. The book provides a detailed description of the customs, traditions, and beliefs of the women in these regions, as well as their daily routines and social interactions. Hume-Griffith also discusses the challenges she faced as a foreigner living in a male-dominated society, and the restrictions placed on women in these cultures. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women in the Middle East during the early 20th century, and is a valuable resource for those interested in the history and culture of the region.""With Narratives Of Experiences In Both Countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
