Therefore, the issue of women is still among the major issues that shake Arab societies throughout the twentieth century. History tells us about the dominance of the male mentality in Arab society over the mentality of women, and their moral and physical persecution until they reached the stage of stunting and slavery. From their point of view - it does not deviate from its description of a wife, sister or mother, which reduced its effectiveness and reduced its role in a narrow environment between home and family.

Some female writers have not been satisfied with the status of women in politics compared to the position of male control over the political situation in Egypt, despite the prominent role of Egyptian women in political life since ancient times and in their different eras.
