Jean Sasson Biography of Jean Sasson :

Jean Sasson, who was born in 1947 in Troy, Alabama, is an American writer whose work mainly centers around women in the Middle East and the injustices they suffer at the hands of patriarchal society.

Born into a small town life, Sasson found adventure between the pages of books. Her strong desire to uproot herself from her rural surroundings led her to jump at the opportunity to work abroad. In 1978 she traveled to Saudi Arabia to work in the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh as an administrative coordinator in Medical Affairs. It was there that she met Peter Sasson, her future husband. They married in 1982 and Sasson left the hospital after four years of service. However, the couple remained in Saudi Arabia until 1990.

During their time in the Middle East, the Sassons made many friends, including members the royal Al-Saud family, who visited the hospital. The most notable of these friendships was between Sasson and Princess Sultana, the princess about whom The Princess Trilogy surrounds.

She is currently based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Notable Works

The Rape of Kuwait

Sasson\'s first book, The Rape of Kuwait about the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, was published in 1991. It was based on interviews she conducted with Kuwaitis who had fled to Cairo, Saudi Arabia, London and Washington, D.C. The book was published before the war broke out.

The Princess Trilogy

* Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia

Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia, her second book, chronicles the life of Sultana, a purported Saudi princess. It claims to be a true story, detailing gender inequalities experienced by Saudi Arabian women. The identity of Sultana (a pseudonym) is concealed to assure her safety. The book remained on the New York Times Best Seller list for 13 weeks.

* Princess Sultana\'s Daughters

As second-generation members of the royal family who have benefited from Saudi oil wealth, Maha and Amani are surrounded by opulence and luxury from the day they were born and which they take for granted. In Princess Sultana\'s Daughters, Sasson exposes the stifling and unbearably restrictive lifestyle imposed on these women. They have reacted in equally desperate ways. Their stories are set against traditional Saudi Arabian culture and social mores.

* Princess Sultana\'s Circle

When Sultana\'s niece is forced into an arranged marriage with a cruel older man and a royal cousin\'s secret harem of sex slaves is revealed, Sultana\'s attempts at intervention in their various plights are thwarted. But when her nephews are caught committing an unspeakable act against a 12-year-old girl, Sultana is galvanized into action. Risking her personal status, she voices her opinion against the complacency of her male relatives. Ultimately, in Princess Sultana\'s Circle, Sultana and her sisters vow to form a circle of support that will surround and shelter abused women and girls.

Mayada: Daughter of Iraq

When Jean Sasson was assigned to be Mayada Al-Askari\'s translator in 1998, during a trip to Baghdad, she could never have imagined what her friendship with this prominent Iraqi woman would lead to. The two women kept in contact until, in 1999, Mayada was arrested by Saddam Hussein\'s secret police. Allegations that Myada had been producing anti-regime pamphlets were brought fourth, and she was confined in Iraq\'s brutal Baladiyat Prison for over a month, fated to visit the torture rooms and wait crowded cells. In cell 52, Myada was imprisoned with 17 other "shadow women" whose lives had similarly been interrupted with false allegations and hardships. Sasson tells their stories.

Love in a Torn Land

In this true love story, Sasson focuses on the life of a Kurdish woman living in Iraq and the broader story of ethnic tensions between the Kurds, Iraqis, Turks, Iranians, and Syrians. Joanna Al-Askari Hussain marries a freedom-fighter, and makes his fight her own, persevering through genocide campaigns, deaths of friends, and missile attacks that cause the sky to rain down the bodies of dead birds.

Growing Up bin Laden

Najwa bin Laden, who married her cousin Osama bin Laden at the age of 15, is his first wife and the mother to eleven children, seven of Osama\'s sons and four of his daughters. Omar bin Laden is the fourth son of Osama bin Laden. Najwa and Omar narrate details about the drama, tensions, and everyday activities of the man they knew as a husband and father. Until Omar and his mother approached Sasson, no other writer or journalist had access to this type of personal information.

Growing Up bin Laden is a book based on interviews with the wife and son of Osama bin Laden.
