Attached to Huda Sha'rawi's Article

After we published what Huda Sha'rawi did, which Google celebrated, some wondered about the source of the information.

We say: Her story is mentioned in many books that addressed the issue of Westernizing women, which helps in documenting such historical events.

In the article (Huda Sha'rawi and the Decline of Women and Tahrir Square) by the author: Ahmed Adel:

Then the stages of decline followed, and there were the famous women's demonstrations in 1919 in Ismailia Square, which was later named Tahrir Square, where Safia Zaghloul, wife of Saad Zaghloul, Huda Sha'rawi, and other women gathered in front of the British army barracks, chanting against the occupation.

Then, with prior planning and without obvious preliminaries, they removed the veil, threw it on the ground, poured petrol on it, and set it on fire, and women were liberated, as they claimed, as if removing the veil would expel the occupation and end the presence of the British in Egypt....

Huda Sha'rawi did not stop at that point, but she continued to try to humiliate and mock the veil. In this regard, Dr. Safinaz Kazim says: (Huda Sha'rawi and her secretary "Siza Nabrawi" removed their veils and trampled them with their feet immediately after arriving from the International Women's Conference held in Rome in the summer of 1923) [Emphasizing the Right and the Truth in the Issue of Unveiling and Veiling, Dr. Safinaz Kazim, p. (9)].

(A group of women led by Huda Sha'rawi and a group of men [defenders] of women's rights adopted the issue.

And the first right that women demanded was unveiling! And the issue that was debated was unveiling and veiling!! And the leader of the [women's] renaissance was Huda [Hanim] Sha'rawi, who turned her house into a salon where men met unveiled women without a guardian (15) (in the footnote, Dr. refers to his talk about these salons and what happened in them in his book (Our Contemporary Reality)).

Then he said: (In the midst of these serious demonstrations, a women's demonstration took place, led by Safia Hanim Zaghloul, wife of Saad Zaghloul, and the women gathered in front of the barracks of the Nile Palace, chanting against the occupation.

Then, with prior planning and without obvious preliminaries, they removed the veil, threw it on the ground, poured petrol on it, and set it on fire.

And women were liberated!!! (19) He mentioned Safia Zaghloul as a leader in this incident and others mentioned the presence of Huda Sha'rawi with her as in the article above.

In the footnote:

((19) Ismailia Square, where women were liberated from their Islamic veil, was named [Tahrir Square] in commemoration of this great occasion!)
