Millions of years before the first cities emerged in Mesopotamia, the Euphrates River followed a very different path from the one known today. Rather than flowing southeast through present-day Turkey, Syria, and Iraq toward the Persian Gulf, the river system may once have consisted of two separate waterways that drained into the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

  For Egyptian-Australian boxer Mai Soliman, her Super Flyweight world title bout against Japanese champion Mizuki Hiruta at the Pyramids of Giza was not defined by the final result.  Rather than dwelling on defeat, Soliman drew inspiration from the experience, using it as fuel to aim higher and keep moving forward on her journey. “I’m often my own toughest critic, and that’s something everyone in my family knows,” Soliman tells Egyptian Streets.  “But I’ve learned to focus on the positives, take away the lessons from every experience, and move forward.

By contrast, when female characters are written by women, their portrayals often explore the nuanced and multifaceted experiences that continually shape a woman’s sense of self.  Women have always existed beneath the weight of scrutiny, not only from men, but from other women, too. From the way they tend to their appearance to how they balance motherhood alongside ambition, the experience of being a woman is never just one woman’s story;Continue reading "Books on Trauma and Remaining Unmarried for Arab Women"
