Il Museo di Belle Arti di Boston ospita la mostra "She who tells a story", che raccoglie le opere di dodici donne originarie del Medio Oriente i cui lavori raccontano la vita dei loro Paesi attraverso un occhio smaccatamente femminile.

Le immagini, che vanno dalle belle arti al fotogiornalismo, rifiutano l'idea che le donne arabe siano oppresse e senza poteri e mostrano come, invece, buona parte del lavoro artistico più importante che proviene da quest'area geografica sia opera femminile.
