Description

Explore the extraordinary life and intellectual contributions of Zaynab Fawwaz (d. 1914) in this groundbreaking Oxford University Press study. Rising from obscurity in the Shi'I community of Jabal 'Amil to become a prominent voice in 1890s Egypt, Fawwaz championed women's and girls' rights through essays, press debates, and pioneering literary works. This book positions gender as a central marker of social difference within the Arabic knowledge movement, or Nahda, whilst examining Fawwaz's remarkable career as a published novelist and the composer of the first known Arabic-language play written by a female author. Her political engagements and unconventional life history reveal the vital role women intellectuals played in shaping modern Arab thought and feminist discourse during this transformative period.
