Hissa Hilal est une femme saoudienne d’un peu plus de quarante ans, mariée avec des enfants. En plus d’être une écrivaine et une poétesse, Hissa est également une activiste féministe. En Arabie Saoudite, un pays où les femmes sont systématiquement bannies de la vie publique. Une voix sous le voile, robuste et puissante. Hissa est devenue une star dans le monde arabe (et au-delà) avec la seule force de ses poésies, dénonçant en vers le fanatisme jihadiste et les fatwa des imams qui annihilent les femmes. Poète talentueuse d’origine bédouine, Hissa est devenue le symbole et la porte-voix de la condition d’oppression et d’obscurantisme dans laquelle vivent les femmes sous le règne du jeune prince Mohammed ben Salman Al Saoud.
