Huda Sha`rawï tied the Sudan question directly to Egyptian women’s rights
Evidence
From the personal aspect of her past to the broader questions of politics, Sha
rawï defended the Sudanese from abandonment by Egyptians while denying in her pleas that the circumstances that tethered the Sudan to Egypt might have had any relation to the historic colonial relationship. Perhaps her attempt to address the symbolic relationship between Egypt and the Sudan gave Sharawï a chance to create a more independent role for herself than she had experienced as a child in her father’s house. — Eve M.
