Published in English for the first time, and the only Arabic epic named for a woman, The Tale of Princess Fatima recounts the thrilling adventures of a legendary medieval warrior universally known throughout the Middle East and long overdue to join world literature's pantheon of female heroes.
A Penguin Classic
A fearsome, sword-slinging heroine who defeated countless men in stealth attacks on horseback, Dhat al-Himma, or Princess Fatima, was secretly given away at birth because she wasn't male, only to triumph as the most formidable warrior of her time. Known alternately as "she-wolf," "woman of high resolve," and "calamity of the soul," she lives on in this rousing narrative of female empowerment, in which she leads armies of more than seventy thousand men in clashes between rival tribes and between Muslims and Christians; reconciles with her father after taking him prisoner; and fends off her infatuated cousin, who challenges her to a battle for the right to marry her. Though her cousin suffers an ignominious defeat, he impregnates Fatima against her will and, when she gives birth to a Black son, disowns his own son, who also grows up to be a great warrior, eventually avenging his mother's honor. The epic culminates in a showdown between Fatima and another formidable warrior woman, and earns Fatima a place alongside the likes of Circe, Mulan, Wonder Woman, Katniss Everdeen and other powerful women.

Zusammenfassung
FIRST TIME IN ENGLISH, making this a major translation event.
AWARD-WINNING TRANSLATION: The translator was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Translation Grant in support of the translation.
A FRESH, FEMALE-CENTERED PERSPECTIVE ON THE MIDDLE EAST-a culture in which women are literally covered up and hidden from view-in the tradition of recent bestsellers that put women at the center of stories long dominated by men, like Emily Wilson's translation of Homer's Odyssey and Madeline Miller's Circe.
FEATURED IN THE BESTSELLING BOOK REJECTED PRINCESS: Tales of History's Boldest Heroines, Hellions, and Heretics: Princess Fatima will be a welcome discovery for readers who've fueled the success of Rejected Princesses as well as other books spotlighting women in history, like Women in Science and The Little Book of Feminist Saints, and of projects like The New York Times's "Overlooked" series.
SUPERHEROES: Princess Fatima features in television cartoons and comic books in the Arab world, making her as much a fixture of Arabic pop culture as the Marvel and DC Comics superheroes are of American pop culture-an Arab-world counterpart to Wonder Woman, Jessica Jones, Xena the Warrior Princess, Katniss Everdeen, and Mulan. The Tale of Princess Fatima has the potential to do for Middle Eastern superheroes what Black Panther and Marlon James's Black Leopard, Red Wolf did for African superheroes.
A FEMALE, ARAB KING ARTHUR: Like King Arthur with his Knights of the Round Table, Princess Fatima is at the center of a group of male and female heroes, and her adventures are as familiar to people in the Middle East as King Arthur's are to us in the West.
MAJOR ARABIC TEXT WITH STRONG COURSE ADOPTION POTENTIAL, and a welcome addition to the canon of Middle Eastern literature in English for teaching alongside the ubiquitous Arabian Nights.
