'I am becoming more radical with age," says Nawal El Saadawi, laughing. "I have noticed that writers, when they are old, become milder. But for me it is the opposite. Age makes me more angry."
This is a startling admission. It is hard to imagine how El Saadawi â the Egyptian writer, activist and one of the leading feminists of her generation â could become more radical. Wearing an open denim shirt, with her hair pulled into two plaits, she looks like the rebel she has always been. It is only the pure white hair, and the lines that spread across her face as she smiles, that give away the fact that she is 79. She has, she tells me, "decided not to die young but to live as much as I can"

Dubbed in Farsi
This is an interesting interview, unfortunately it is dubbed in a not complete translation of what she is saying in english. Would have been better a written subtitle.
