In “The Time of the Other Love,” Ghada Al-Samman transcends the familiar boundaries of feminist ideas and surpasses the known domains of female literary contribution to assert, with insistence, the being of a woman as a human with harmonious feelings and as a creature whose body and soul are not enslaved. Ghada Al-Samman's writings carry another meaning… her ideas are at times hidden behind symbolism, not out of fear, awe, or dread of criticism, suppression, or the restriction of the female word, but out of an insistence and affirmation of a literary ability to employ symbolism and convey meaning in a time of prohibition.
