Description


Married at thirteen against her wishes, Shaarawi grew up to be an early leader of Egypt's feminist movement.

About the Author


Huda Shaarawi (1879-1947) was among the last generation of Egyptian women to live in the segregated world of the harem. Her feminist activism grew out of her involvement in Egypt's nationalist struggle, and led to her founding of the Egyptian Feminist Union in 1923.
