- Summary
- Pathe Intertitles - "Life spells work for the Arab woman. Moving continually, it is she who pitches the tent at each stopping place. (The tent itself is made by the woman out of goat’s hair.)"
"Then the whole family takes possession."
"Once settled, the women start work again. Spinning wool occupies a great deal of their time."
"Arab women are guarded carefully from the outside world when they travel. A bazoor, or framework of sticks covered with rugs, is built on the camel."
"The woman then crawls inside - to hide from strange eyes and, incidentally, to enjoy her only leisure." - Keywords

- J. Hammerton ‘For Ladies Only?' (Hastings, 2001) p127.
