Sahar Khalifeh

Widely regarded as the doyenne of Palestinian feminist literature, Sahar Khalifeh holds a PhD in Women’s Studies and American Literature, channeling her academic rigor into a deeply transparent and moving narrative style. She was awarded the prestigious Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature (2006) for The Image, the Icon, and the Covenant, as well as the Cervantes Award for translated literature. Through seminal works like Wild Thorns and We Are No Longer Your Slaves, Khalifeh masterfully intertwines the quest for national liberation with the struggle for women’s emancipation, offering an unflinching critique of patriarchal traditions under the shadow of occupation.
