Lebanese Writer Joumana Haddad's Call to Arab Women

Lebanese poet and writer Joumana Haddad is used to controversy. She's the founder of a print and online magazine called Jasad ("Body"). It's the first erotic magazine published in Arabic for women in the Islamic world. Haddad now has a new book out with a very provocative title. It's called I Killed Scheherazade: Confessions of an Angry Arab Woman. The book is part autobiography, part political diatribe. Haddad says it's a call to Arab women — and the entire Eastern and Western worlds — to rethink their idea of what an Arab woman is. Anchor Lisa Mullins talks with Haddad.
