Zaynab Fawwaz (c.1860-1914) was a forceful voice in support of women''s rights to education and work choices in colonial-era Egypt. Her volume of 453 women''s lives, al-Durr al-manthur fi tabaqat rabbat al-khudur (Pearls scattered in times and places: classes of ladies of cloistered spaces), was published between 1893 and 1896 and features Boudicca, Catherine the Great and Victoria Woodhull, among many others.
