When the author, Annick Cojean, went to cover Libya post Gaddafi for Le Monde, she was struck by the absence of women among the rebels. Elsewhere in the Arab Spring, women had been present on the streets sharing the celebrations. She did come to learn that the Libyan women in fact had taken huge risks in passing information and supplies and hiding money. However, they were still trapped in a society that held the woman's place as in the home, guarded and hidden.
