â€I was born in a harem in 1940 in Fez; Morocco...†So begins Fatima Mernissi in this exotic and rich narrative of a childhood behind the iron gates of a domestic harem. In Dreams of Trespass; Mernissi weaves her own memories with the dreams and memories of the women who surrounded her in the courtyard of her youth—women who; deprived of access to the world outside; recreated it from sheer imagination. Dreams of Trespass is the provocative story of a girl confronting the mysteries of time and place; gender and sex in the recent Muslim world.
