By Jenna Hassan | October 6Renown author, activist and journalist, Mona Eltahawy, spoke on her book, Headscarves and Hymens, right wing and Middle Eastern misogyny and how she draws inspiration from the Black Lives Matter movement and Say Her Name on Monday in McKenny Hall. The Women’s Resource Center brought in the Egyptian feminist to give a lecture and lead a discussion. The question and answer portion gave opposing side the opportunity to have a back and forth with the fiery and controversial figure and brought different views to light. Eltahawy said what she wants to crush is the patriarchy and their pillars -- what she called the trifecta of misogyny, the state, the street, and the home.
