My history in my pen

In the pages of these memoirs, the life of Prophet Musa (1890-1951), a pioneer who paved her way in a time when light was limited to the few, comes alive. The first Egyptian woman to overcome the barriers of fanaticism and established traditions to obtain a baccalaureate degree in 1907, defying the opposition of Dunlop, advisor to the Ministry of Education. She did not stop at any limits, as she became the first school principal and the first female education inspector in Egypt, and she initiated the establishment of schools for noble girls in Cairo and Alexandria. Through the pages of this book, Nabawiyah recounts her struggle since childhood, where she strived by all means possible to learn to read and write. She talks about the difficulties she faced due to rigid traditions that restricted girls' ambitions, and how she did not become weak or give up, but rather continued the struggle until she achieved her right to education. Her journey was not only a struggle against traditions, but it was a jihad against ignorance. In her view, education was a weapon that liberated minds just as revolutionaries liberate nations. She stressed that education was the basis of progress and independence. Join us on this intellectual journey with one of Egypt's greatest daughters, who lit up the streets and schools that bear her name today as a tribute to that noble spirit.
