The novel Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi and the article “With Tasers and signs, Egyptian women fight against sexism” by Laurie Penny can be related both internally with regard to the text and externally to the time and place surrounding the novel and article. Although Woman at Point Zero offers a fictional journey, very authentic in heart and inspiration, the ideas incorporated in this novel are just as authentic as those provided by the first-hand account given by Laurie Penny. Woman at Point Zero follows the story of a woman, Firdaus, who is forcibly raped numerous times. Firdaus later finds safety through prostitution, which leads to her being targeted on a more authoritarian scale. Ultimately, Firdaus finds the strength to fight back against the men who harmed her, as can be seen when she fights back by killing her pimp. Penny documented her experience at a women's march in Egypt, interviewing after gaining perspectives on the social injustices occurring in that region. The very similar infrastructure of these texts makes it easy to make connections. The article and novel can be linked through the authors' familiar contexts, the techniques used to convey Egypt's situation, and the direct intentions the authors had and ultimately brought to fruition. The first essential way in which the writings can be connected is through the settings of both the authors and the writings presented. Some basic research by Nawal El Saadawi and Laurie Penny will expose the underlying beliefs of both authors, namely feminism or essential human rights in general. The society and culture of Britain and Egypt provide many opportunities to become familiar with paper and to share these ideas with people who are less familiar with them. Both authors' settings made it easy for them to produce a work expressing their experiences. The techniques used by the authors place the reader directly in the situation of these women. The inventions that the authors had for writing helped to show the misogyny in Egypt and encourage the revolution that was happening. Thanks to the authors' context, the techniques used throughout their writing, and the similar goals they set for themselves along their journey, both authors were able to produce a written work in which many connections could be made.
