What is *Excellent Daughters* by Katherine Zoepf about?

*Excellent Daughters* examines the lives of young Middle Eastern women navigating societal expectations in education, work, marriage, and activism. Through interviews and personal narratives, Zoepf reveals their struggles in patriarchal systems and subtle shifts toward empowerment, such as pursuing careers or redefining traditions.

Who should read *Excellent Daughters*?

This book suits readers interested in Middle Eastern culture, gender studies, or social change. Journalists, activists, and students will appreciate its firsthand accounts of women balancing tradition and modernity in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt.

Is *Excellent Daughters* worth reading?

Yes, for its intimate storytelling and exploration of underreported issues. However, some critics note Zoepf’s journalistic style prioritizes observation over deep analysis, which may leave academic readers wanting more.

How does *Excellent Daughters* address education for Middle Eastern women?

Zoepf highlights disparities in access to education and its role in empowerment. For example, Saudi women leverage degrees to enter male-dominated fields, while religious schooling in Egypt sometimes reinforces conservative gender roles.

It contrasts traditional arranged marriages with evolving courtship practices. In Syria, some women use social media to connect with suitors discreetly, while others face pressure to prioritize family honor over personal choice.

What role does activism play in *Excellent Daughters*?

Zoepf profiles women like Samira, an Egyptian protester subjected to virginity tests after Tahrir Square, and Lebanese activists advocating for legal reforms. Their stories illustrate both courage and systemic pushback.

What are key quotes from *Excellent Daughters*?

A standout line—*"The world changes because… daughters make slightly different decisions from their mothers"*—captures the book’s focus on incremental social change. Another highlights the paradox of religious conservatism coexisting with female empowerment.

Behind the Veil: The Hidden Lives of Young Arab Women

In a world where the image of Arab women often remains obscured by stereotypes and misconceptions, Katherine Zoepf's "Excellent Daughters" offers a rare glimpse into the complex realities of young women navigating tradition, modernity, and identity across the Middle East. The book has garnered praise from influential figures like Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Dexter Filkins, who called it "essential reading for anyone who cares about modern Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or the future of the Arab world." Since its 2016 publication, it has become required reading in Middle Eastern studies programs at universities worldwide. What makes this work particularly compelling is Zoepf's unique position as a female journalist who gained unprecedented access to private female spaces typically closed to Western observers, allowing her to capture intimate stories that challenge our assumptions about women's lives in this rapidly changing region.

The Invisible Revolution: Women Reshaping the Arab World

The Arab world stands at a demographic crossroads, with nearly two-thirds of its population under twenty-five years old. While Western media often portrays Arab youth as disaffected and potentially dangerous, with young women appearing only as voiceless victims, Zoepf discovered a far more complex reality during her years living in Damascus and Beirut. Behind closed doors, she encountered educated, articulate women navigating a rapidly changing landscape of opportunities and constraints. The 2011 Arab Spring revealed what Zoepf had already begun to witness: young women-some in headscarves, others in tight jeans-joining men in protests that toppled authoritarian regimes. Twenty-five-year-old Asmaa Mahfouz's YouTube video helped spark the Tahrir Square protests that brought down Hosni Mubarak. These women have gained better educations and greater freedoms than at any previous point in Arab history, though many of these gains rest on fragile foundations now threatened by extremist groups. As a female journalist, Zoepf found herself welcomed into the private sphere of Arab family life in ways her male colleagues rarely experienced. In these intimate spaces, she observed networks of mutual support among women navigating a world in transition. The changes happening across the region aren't just occurring through dramatic political events but through countless small decisions made by daughters who choose slightly different paths than their mothers did. Zoepf's own background as a former Jehovah's Witness gave her unique insight into the struggles of young Arab women. Having grown up with strict religious guidelines herself-memorizing Bible verses, distributing religious tracts, and living with constant anxiety about Armageddon-she recognized in many of these women a familiar struggle to reconcile traditional values with changing hopes and aspirations.

The Islamic Revival: Faith as a Source of Strength and Identity

In Damascus, seventeen-year-old Enas represented a new generation of devout Muslim women finding empowerment through religious education. Despite her youth and fondness for pastel colors and cartoon character watches, Enas carried herself with remarkable gravity and moral seriousness that made Zoepf feel like the younger person despite their twelve-year age difference. Enas belonged to Syria's devout Sunni merchant class, a historical urban elite engaged in decades-long power struggles with the Alawite minority controlling Syria's Ba'athist government. Her family represented Islamic scholarly aristocracy-her uncle Muhammad al-Habash served in Syria's parliament and directed the Islamic Studies Center, while her mother and aunt each ran well-known girls' Qur'an memorization schools (madrassas). Enas herself memorized the entire Qur'an before age ten and began teaching younger children at her mother's madrassa. At seventeen, Enas aspired to study biotechnology and genetic engineering. When Zoepf expressed surprise, mentioning how some conservative Christians view genetic engineering as interfering with God's domain, Enas scoffed. She saw no contradiction between science and faith, believing God had caused her to love science. "We believe that our studies are also a way of serving God," she explained. "I wish you could know what it is like to have a faith like this, Katherine, that gives you so much energy for your life." The rise of female Islamic teachers in Syria emerged as an unexpected consequence of the government's brutal repression following the 1982 Hama uprising. While men suspected of Islamist activity faced imprisonment and torture, the government couldn't risk similar treatment of women without public outcry. This created an opening for groups like the secretive Qubaisi sisterhood, which effectively utilized the additional freedom and privacy afforded to women in conservative Islamic society. By 2006, the Qubaisi sisterhood reportedly had 75,000 members with affiliated schools in Syria and offshoots in other countries. Members meet in private homes to study Islamic texts under senior unmarried women called "anisehs" or "misses." The sisterhood has a distinctive dress code where headscarf colors indicate rank-white for beginners, navy blue for more advanced members, and black for those in excellent standing. The sisterhood offered significant social advancement opportunities in a country with few such avenues for women. Members included women from Syria's most powerful families, yet the group also recruited promising young women from disadvantaged backgrounds. Benefits included arranged marriages into wealthier circles, job opportunities, and the empowerment that comes from religious education. As one woman explained, "It's only ignorant women who are bullied by men in the name of Islam. When girls have the ability to read the Qur'an and interpret it, they will be able to find their own meanings."

Veiling and Virtue: The Complex Politics of Modesty

The concept of hijab emerged during Muhammad's later years when, surrounded by wives he wished to protect, he began receiving revelations about veiling and seclusion. These Qur'anic verses initially applied only to Muhammad's wives, but their application to other Muslim women has been debated ever since. The hijab serves as protection-paradoxically protecting men from women's dangerous sexuality while also "protecting" women themselves. Several Qur'anic verses form the basis for veiling practices, including verse 24:31 instructing believing women to "throw their veils over their bosoms" and not show their "ornaments" except to mahrams (men forbidden to them as marital partners). For many young women like Enas, the hijab isn't experienced as oppressive but as empowering-giving them confidence by making people see their character and intelligence rather than their youth or appearance. When Zoepf wrote an article about Syria's Islamic women's movements that emphasized the hijab, Enas challenged her focus: "Why are foreigners so interested in the hijab? We spent so many months talking to you about what we think, what we believe, what is on our minds." She resented being made "exotic" and wanted to convey that "Islam is the only religion that has given women their rights." Yet the concept of female modesty extends far beyond clothing choices. In Damascus, Zoepf's Arabic teacher Asma explained her hijab as protection against collective guilt: "What if a man sees you girls walking with your hair uncovered and becomes so aroused that he abuses a child? Wouldn't you feel it was your fault?" This perspective reflects what sociologist Fatima Mernissi critiques as traditional Islamic society's aversion to individualism in favor of collective harmony. While some frame this as communal guardianship where all are equal before God, the burden of safeguarding community values falls disproportionately on women.

Honor and Shame: The Deadly Price of "Dishonor"

In Syria, between three and four hundred women were killed yearly in the name of family honor according to activists. The concept of "ghasalat al arr" (washing away the shame) involves killing a female relative believed to have brought disgrace upon male relatives. Unlike ordinary shame, this represents an unbearable stain requiring death. The concept originated among pre-Islamic Bedouin tribes, where honor was a man's "losable right to respect." Women don't possess honor but are vessels for it; their behavior reflects on their male blood relatives' honor even after marriage. As Georgetown professor Lama Abu-Odeh explains, Arab masculinity is defined through defending female relatives' chastity: "To be a man is to engage in daily practices, an important part of which is to assure the virginity of the women in your family." The story of sixteen-year-old Zahra illustrates the deadly consequences of this honor code. Shortly after her marriage to Fawaz, her older brother Faiez entered their apartment with a stolen key and stabbed her five times, nearly severing her spinal column. He then walked to the police station and turned himself in, claiming he'd killed his sister to restore family honor after she lost her virginity out of wedlock ten months earlier. "It's true that my sister is married now, but we never washed away the shame," he told police. What made Zahra's case remarkable wasn't just her youth or innocence, but that it became a rallying point for legal reform. Her story drew statements from religious leaders including Syria's grand mufti and sparked media coverage. Activists explained that honor killings had become more prevalent as other forms of honor collapsed in Syrian society. "Our parents tell us that there was an earlier day when honor meant that you were honorable in your work," explained activist Bassam al-Kadi. "Now it's just the family, the tribe, the woman. That's the only kind of honor we have left." Despite many Islamic scholars arguing that honor killing stems from pre-Islamic tribal traditions rather than Islamic teaching, Zahra's brother was ultimately released without punishment under Article 548 of Syria's penal code, which explicitly states men who kill female relatives caught in "immoral acts" face no punishment.

The Paradox of Purity: Technical Virginity in Lebanon

In Beirut, the contradictions of modern Arab sexuality emerge in stark relief, as young women navigate between traditional values and contemporary pressures. Sociologist Dr. Samir Khalaf observed paradoxical sexual behaviors among Lebanese youth, particularly his discovery that many university-age women engage in oral and anal sex while maintaining technical virginity-leading to his memorable declaration: "We have the most promiscuous virgins in the world!" Lebanon's atmosphere feels surprisingly licentious compared to neighboring Arab countries, with women wearing aggressively sexualized clothing and nightclubs where female patrons regularly dance atop bars. Lebanese women are renowned for their beauty and devotion to appearance-investing heavily in fashion, salon visits, and even plastic surgery. Yet beneath this glamorous surface lies a deeply conservative society where unmarried women rarely live alone and most return to their parents' homes before dawn, regardless of age. This creates an impossible negotiation for women who must reconcile two irreconcilable demands: celebrating beauty and sexuality while remaining technically virtuous. As Dr. Khalaf explains, "How do you negotiate between a culture that celebrates how one looks-being cute, being beautiful, being fashionable, being erotic-but then you're condemned if you do become sexually active?" Lebanese women navigate these impossible contradictions between modern desires and traditional expectations through compromise. Many resort to oral and anal sex-maintaining technical virginity while preventing boyfriends from seeking sex elsewhere. Dr. Wissam Ghandour, a Beirut gynecologist, reports that even educated women who idealistically refuse to lie about their sexual history typically face rejection from potential husbands. He routinely recommends hymenoplasty to sexually active women, explaining that even the most seemingly progressive Lebanese men demand virgin brides. The procedures range from simple pre-wedding stitches to more complex reconstructions performed months before marriage. "Why should a girl lose her whole future?" he argues. "She would be rejected completely. I perform these on everybody."

Gender Segregation: The Saudi Experience

Saudi Arabia enforces perhaps the world's strictest gender segregation, governed by Wahhabist principles. Women must wear black abayas and head coverings, cannot drive, and use separate entrances and sections in all public spaces. This extreme separation profoundly shapes Saudis' emotional lives and worldviews. Despite sometimes being well-traveled, Saudi women often genuinely fear public spaces and unknown men. The religious police force (hai'a) patrols to prevent casual contact between unrelated men and women, though their power has diminished since a 2002 school fire investigation where they prevented uncovered girls from escaping. Gender segregation creates a situation where unmarried women speak about men as if they're a different species. At one gathering Zoepf attended, girls were intensely curious about Alia's "showfa"-the traditional "viewing" where a suitor sees his potential bride without her abaya. Alia described her unplanned showfa with Badr, explaining she had no time to prepare when her father approved the match on the spot. Like many Saudi women, she recounted being so nervous she nearly dropped the juice tray she was carrying. Despite Western media focus on incremental changes in Saudi Arabia, most young Saudis Zoepf met were deeply conservative and uninterested in social reforms. Young women were acutely aware of societal limitations but rarely questioned them, citing their deep faith in Saudi Arabia's strict Wahhabi interpretation of Islam. They debated minor details like whether male cousins should see their faces or if men could be Facebook friends, but most viewed pre-engagement conversations with men as horrifying. Most Saudi women strongly preferred family involvement in marriage arrangements. One young woman couldn't imagine choosing her own husband unless her family was dysfunctional, saying "My mother knows that I don't want someone from a very low background. When your mother knows you well, it is easier for her to make a good choice." Despite their conservative values, Saudi girls maintained intense female friendships that provided crucial support in their gender-segregated world. However, as one Saudi saleswoman revealed, these vital friendships often disappeared after marriage: "Before we get married, we have each other... But for ninety percent of women here, female friends are something that you have only in childhood."

Breaking Tradition: New Paths Beyond Marriage

Marriage was once the only acceptable path for young Arab women, but cultural and economic shifts now enable women to pursue opportunities without marriage. In Egypt, the percentage of women married by eighteen dropped from 27% in 1990 to 17% by 2010. Women's median marriage age has risen to 23.3 in Jordan and 23.9 in Morocco, approaching US levels. In Algeria and Lebanon, 17-21% of women aged 35-39 remain unmarried. As marriage ages rise, women's workforce participation has increased from 28% to 32% between 2000-2006, with the greatest growth among younger women. This demographic shift stems from women's increased education and economic factors like inflation and male unemployment. Yet social expectations haven't kept pace, with unmarried professional women facing criticism and stigmatization as "spinsters" across the Arab world. A decade ago, unmarried Arab women working outside their home countries were rare, but now increasing numbers are migrating to wealthy Gulf states for employment. This migration creates opportunities for ambitious young women but also unleashes complex social dynamics. Traditional Arab culture highly values protecting unmarried daughters, with even allowing them to work locally sometimes questioning their virtue. Even liberal families that permit daughters to work and study near home often find it unthinkable to allow them to travel overseas unaccompanied. Randa's story exemplifies this new path. Her rebellion was forced upon her when her mother's suicide led her devout Sunni extended family to cut ties with her at seventeen. At nineteen, she applied to be a Gulf Air flight attendant, enduring a humiliating selection process where recruiters scrutinized women's bodies, skin, and emotional resilience. Despite never having flown before, Randa seized this opportunity, recognizing it as her path to freedom: "When I was still at home in Aleppo, I never knew what opportunity would come to me, but I knew that I would take it... And also I knew that it wouldn't be my marriage." The Gulf offers young Arab women something rarely found in their home countries: workplaces with transparent advancement patterns and relatively little corruption or nepotism. For Suzanne Saoub, a Jordanian who left her home country after male colleagues complained about having a female supervisor, the Gulf's meritocratic environment proved liberating. "In Jordan, if the office finds out that a woman has a boyfriend, it can be the end of her career," she explained. "It's amazing to come here and find that people only care about how you do your job." As these pioneering women return home, family dynamics often shift dramatically, especially when daughters begin outearning fathers and brothers. Women raised to value community now see themselves as individuals with personal rights and freedoms, creating friction within traditional family structures. Yet many find themselves treated as heroines by female relatives eager to hear about their travels.

The Struggle for Rights: Activism in Saudi Arabia and Egypt

In Saudi Arabia, women's rights activism is notably fragmented, with advocates focusing on different priorities from driving rights to child marriage. This fragmentation reflects Saudi society itself-walled homes, curtained restaurant tables, no freedom of assembly, and limited socialization outside family circles leave Saudis isolated and often unaware of compatriots' views. The contemporary women's rights movement traces back to November 6, 1990, when nearly four dozen Saudi women drove through Riyadh, inspired by Kuwaiti refugee women and American servicewomen driving in the Kingdom. Though briefly detained, these "drivers" faced years of unofficial punishment-job termination, travel bans, public mockery, and career limitations. Hessah al-Sheikh, one of the 1990 driving protesters, comes from a family of renowned religious scholars including Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, founder of Wahhabism. Though her father encouraged her education and ambitions, her participation in the driving protest was painful for her family. "My father said, 'I wanted you to drive and to have that right, but I didn't want you to be the first.'" The growing openness has sparked backlash from some Saudi women themselves. Rowdha Yousef launched "My Guardian Knows What's Best for Me" after another activist attempted to cross the Saudi-Bahrain border without male permission. Within two months, Yousef collected 5,400 signatures rejecting "ignorant requests of those inciting liberty" and demanding punishment for those promoting gender equality. In Egypt, the Arab Spring initially seemed to promise new freedoms for women. Egyptian women's participation in the revolution directly challenged traditional gender roles. Many young women described watching protests from their windows before finally joining the marchers, sometimes even persuading their mothers to come along. For eighteen days during the uprising, sexual harassment virtually disappeared from Tahrir Square, giving women like twenty-year-old Hadir Ahmedali her first taste of gender equality. However, the atmosphere of respect female protesters experienced during the early days of the 2011 revolution quickly vanished. Sexual harassment and assaults increased dramatically after Mubarak's security forces disappeared from the streets. Several Islamist lawmakers publicly blamed women for these attacks, suggesting they brought them upon themselves by participating in protests. Most disturbingly, the Egyptian military used brutal tactics against female protesters, subjecting them to humiliating "virginity tests" and other forms of torture. Samira Ibrahim Mohamed, a young woman from Sohag, was arrested while protesting near Tahrir Square in March 2011. She endured a humiliating forced "virginity test" that she described as torture so severe "I wished to die six hundred times." Despite the stigma attached to such cases, Samira pursued legal action against the military council, becoming nationally famous with a Facebook page, "We are all Samira Ibrahim," attracting thousands of supporters.

Small Changes, Big Impact: The Lingerie Shop Revolution

Middle East reporting often rewards cynicism, with promising developments frequently disappointing in practice. But occasionally, small reforms prove more transformational than expected. In Saudi Arabia, one seemingly idiosyncratic campaign would prove surprisingly consequential. Reem Asaad, a finance lecturer at Dar al-Hekma women's college in Jeddah, launched a campaign for lingerie shops to replace male staff with women. Rather than emphasizing women's rights, she strategically appealed to traditional Saudi values, arguing that no decent Saudi woman should have to discuss intimate apparel with strange men. In June 2011, King Abdullah issued a ruling banning men from working in lingerie shops, ordering these jobs be given to Saudi women instead. The Ministry of Labor expanded this to include shops selling cosmetics, abayas, and wedding dresses, creating thousands of new jobs for women. By 2013, several large supermarket chains began hiring female cashiers. Conservatives responded with fury-Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz al-Sheikh called employing women in lingerie shops a "crime," clerics threatened the labor minister, and writer Abdullah Muhammad al-Dawood encouraged his Twitter followers to sexually harass female cashiers to discourage women from working. The scale of backlash suggested that even these limited changes had profoundly shaken Saudi society. By 2013, confrontations between religious police and female retail employees became so frequent that the labor ministry negotiated new terms with the religious authorities, requiring stores employing both sexes to install partitions at least five feet high. Female employees developed their own strategies-claiming to be new employees to receive lighter treatment, or hurrying to break rooms when religious police appeared. Despite these tensions, many saleswomen consistently expressed respect for the religious police's efforts. Reema Mohamed, a conservative divorcee working as a cashier, expressed pain over these confrontations while still believing the religious police serve an important purpose. Her experience working has sparked her interest in women's rights, and she's raising her sons to treat women with respect. This seemingly small change-allowing women to sell lingerie to other women-created ripples throughout Saudi society, opening new employment opportunities and challenging deeply held beliefs about gender roles. It demonstrates how even modest reforms can sometimes catalyze broader social transformation, especially when they align with cultural values while subtly shifting the boundaries of what's considered acceptable.

A Generation in Transition: Hope Amid Uncertainty

The young women Zoepf encountered throughout the Arab world are navigating a period of unprecedented change and opportunity, even as they face backlash from conservative forces threatened by their growing independence. They are neither the passive victims portrayed in Western media nor the fully liberated women some might wish them to be. Instead, they are complex individuals making careful calculations about how to expand their freedoms while maintaining connections to families and traditions they value. Some find empowerment through religious education, others through economic independence, and still others through political activism. Many are pioneering new paths that their mothers could never have imagined, while others are finding ways to reinterpret traditional roles to accommodate their modern aspirations. What unites them is a determination to shape their own futures, even within the constraints of societies that often remain deeply patriarchal. Their stories reveal that change in the Arab world isn't just happening through dramatic political events but through countless small decisions made by daughters who choose slightly different paths than their mothers did. As the region continues to experience political upheaval and economic transformation, these young women will play a crucial role in determining what kind of societies emerge from the current period of transition. Their struggles and triumphs offer important insights not just into the changing nature of gender roles in the Arab world, but into the complex interplay between tradition and modernity, religion and secularism, individual rights and communal obligations that shapes all societies in an increasingly interconnected world.

저는 24년째 PhotoReading 속진 학습 강사로 일하고 있어요… 책과 독서, 배움이 제 전문인데, BeFreed는 정보를 소화하기 쉽게 전달하는 혁신적인 방식을 정말 잘 구현했어요.

@BeFreed user

단순한 책 요약 앱이 아니에요. '재미' 스타일을 써 봤는데, 전통적인 방식보다 훨씬 나은 요약이고 아이디어를 이해하기도 쉬워요. 이것만으로도 값어치를 해요.

@austinakon

이 앱이 정말 좋아요. 며칠 써 봤는데 듣는 걸 멈출 수가 없어요. 시작하기에 이보다 좋을 수 없어요.

@jcrules328

정말 마음에 들어요. 한 달 정도 써 봤는데 숨은 보석을 찾은 기분이에요. BeFreed로 제가 원하는 주제를 직접 만들 수 있어서 좋고, 목소리도 훌륭한 데다 내레이션 선택지가 무궁무진해요.

@DanielCZ

정말이지 아직 앱을 다 써 보지도 않았는데, 며칠 써 본 것만으로도 깊은 인상을 받았어요… BeFreed는 제가 써 본 어떤 학습 앱과도 차원이 달라요. 몰입감이 엄청나고 집중력도 실제로 좋아져서, 스마트폰을 하염없이 스크롤하는 분들께 딱이에요!

@ladyInfinity

정확히 23일 전에 BeFreed를 구입했는데, 그날부터 하루도 빠짐없이 쓰고 있어요. 제 일상 업무 흐름과 학습 습관에 완전히 자리 잡았어요.

@jayallen

솔직히 이 앱은 제 기대를 전부 뛰어넘었어요. 어떤 주제든 오디오로 만들어 달라고 할 수 있고, 결과물이 놀라워요. 제 전문 분야는 심리치료 쪽이고 여러 학문이 얽혀 있는데도 답변이 아주 정확해요.

@DanielCZ

유용한 정보와 아이디어를 8~15분짜리 팟캐스트 스타일 오디오로 압축해서 들을 수 있다는 게 정말 좋아요. 원래 팟캐스트는 군더더기가 많아서 안 좋아했는데, 여기는 그걸 싹 걷어냈어요.

@BeFreed user

박사 과정을 마무리하는 중이라 낯선 자료를 많이 읽어야 해요… BeFreed에서는 프롬프트만 입력하면 앱이 자료를 찾아서 오디오 팟캐스트로 만들어 줘요. BeFreed의 과정이 NotebookLM보다 더 매끄럽게 느껴져요.

@Brad

아침을 준비하거나 산책하거나 출퇴근할 때 들을 것을 YouTube에서 자주 찾곤 했는데, BeFreed는 광고도 군더더기도 없이 훨씬 더 딱 맞는 걸 들려줘요!

@BeFreed user

이 플랫폼의 가장 큰 장점은 활용도예요. 다루지 못하는 주제가 말 그대로 하나도 없어요. 무엇을 던져도 다 소화해요… 제한이 전혀 없으면서 약속을 실제로 지키는 학습 도구는 정말 드물어요.

@jayallen

BeFreed는 환상적이에요. 디자인이 편해서 헤매는 시간은 줄고 배우는 시간은 늘었어요. 오디오북, 팟캐스트, 학습 플랜의 조합은 천재적이에요. 제 하루가 완전히 달라졌어요.

@BeFreed user

처음엔 이탈리아어로 팟캐스트를 만드는 방법을 이해하는 데 시간이 좀 걸렸는데, 알고 나니까 — 와! 정말 대단해요! 어떤 주제든 설명해 달라고 하면 정말 똑똑하게 잘 설명해 줘요!

@matteo77

BeFreed는 제가 매일 쓰는 오디오북 앱이 됐어요… 제일 마음에 드는 건 텍스트를 넣으면 이동 중에도 들을 수 있는 오디오로 만들어 준다는 점이에요.
