hits her all over with his shoe. Her face and body becomes swollen and bruised. Saadawi, 1983:46. He leapt on me like a dog. The hole in his swelling was oozing drops foul-smelling pus. I did not turn my face or my nose away this time. I surrendered my face to his face and my body to his body, passively, without any resistance, without a movement, as though life had been drained out of it, like a piece of dead wood or old neglected furniture left to stand where it is, or a pair of shoes forgotten under a chair. One day he hit me with his heavy stick until the blood ran from my nose and ears. Saadawi, 1983:47 iii. Bayoumi Bayoumi is the man whom Firdaus meet at the street. Firdaus meets Bayoumi when she looks for a job. She really wants to get a job although she has just secondary school certificate.
