The year 1923 was a significant one for Egypt and the Arab world. It was the year where the first feminist movement in the region was born. It was the year when Huda Sha’arawi first the Egyptian Feminist Union. It was the year when Sha’arawi famously removed her face veil and sparked a revolution among other women in the country. This year was the dawn of a movement that lives until today, one that has already reaped a lot of what it sow, but that still has a lot more to achieve. The name, and the magazine, is a tribute to the year, the movement, Sha’arawi, all the leading women of her age, and the strong, resilient and generally awesome women of today.
