Tarikhi bi qalami

Summary

Tarikhi bi qalami (My History) consists of autobiographical essays written by Nabawiyya Musa (1886-1951) in the first half of the twentieth century. It is a valuable publication since it is one of the few autobiographies by Egyptian women in modern times and also because there are very few surviving copies in Egyptian libraries.Nabawiyya Musa wrote numerous essays on social and political issues and was an advocate and supporter of girls’ education in Egypt.
