Summary | Princess Qadriyah Husayn is the daughter of Hussien Kamil who succeeded as Sultan of Egypt in 1914. Princess Qadriyah had numerous literary contributions and important views on the question of women- a question that occupied central stage in the Egyptian intellectual scene at the beginning of the twentieth century. In this book Princess Qadriyah discusses many integral issues including religious affiliation, patriotism, loyalty to the homeland, and the marginalized role of women in the intellectual and public spheres. This edition of Famous Women of the Islamic World was re-printed by the Women and Memory Forum in order to celebrate the memory of Qadriyah Husayn and to make conscious room for her in collective memory |
