Riham Adly

Princess, priestess, runaway, slave-girl, heiress, aquatic siren: women live thousands of lives in the flash fiction of Riham Adly, sometimes in the course of one story. A writer from modern Egypt, Adly reflects the complex reality of a world that can be both cosmopolitan and insular, a changing world where women risk new roles, but still struggle to push through family and cultural conditioning that tells them to “expect nothing, stay quiet, be smart.” The women in these stories ignore that advice. They expect everything, rebel, push boundaries, speak from the heart.
