Women against the tide..

The raising of the issue of women and their advancement coincided with the raising of two important issues. The first concerned the modernization of society, which began during the era of Muhammad Ali Pasha to advance the Egyptian nation and catch up with the advanced West.
The second concerned the issue of colonialism and the national struggle for independence and national liberation.
Pioneering women contributed to improving the status of women, but they endured hardship and suffering to write, through their lives and journeys, a significant chapter in the history of this nation.
