Paradise Beneath Her Feet: Women and Reform in the Middle East
In late April Random House is releasing Paradise Beneath Her Feet: Women and Reform in the Middle East by Isobel Coleman.

Their success, she believes, will bring greater stability and prosperity to the Middle East and may even transform the region.
