Baladi Women of Cairo : : Playing with an Egg and a Stone / / Evelyn A. Early.
Based on more than three years of work among traditional urban Egyptian women, Early's work reveals important cultural themes by minimizing the reflective gaze of the researcher and allowing spontaneous discourse and narrative recountings to "catch" culture in action.
