FORTY FALLEN WOMEN: OULED NAIL OF THE SAHARA 1870 TO 1920
This book tells about a tribe that lived in northern Africa on the fringe of the Sahara Desert in the late nineteenth century. The young women of the Ouled Nail were trained in the arts of dance and love-making. After this education they left the tribe and relocated in oasis towns where they danced in cafes and sold sexual pleasures to selected men. Their dancing became known as belly dancing. The women’s earnings from this work became their dowry. Once they earned a sufficient amount most returned to their tribe and chose a suitable husband. This book contains 40 different photographs of the women and the places they worked. Most of the women are fully clothed but a few are not.
