Nazira Zain al-Din
Nazira Zain al-Din (Zain al-Din also translated to Zeineddine, Zain also written Zayn), a Druze Lebanese scholar born in 1908,. was one of the first Arab women writers of her time to speak out against the degrading practices of her culture. She is not only famous for her criticisms against the traditional "head to toe veil" worn by Muslim women at the time, but for her outspokenness about the seclusion and discrimination of these women as well. She spent much of her life writing and advocating for the identity and equality of women in the Arab world.
==Early life and education==
Nazira Zain al-Din was the daughter of Shaykh Saeed Zainal Din, a judge in Lebanon's High Court of Appeals and an intellectual scholar of the Islamic religion.〔 While she spent most of her life in Ayn Qani, Lebanon, she was born in Istanbul where her father held a post at the time.〔 Due to his background in the intellectual world, her father supported her educational endeavors and sent her to a French Catholic school in Lebanon.〔 Nazira and her sister Munira were the first Druze girls to gain admission into St Joseph de l'Apparition and the Sisters of Nazareth Convent school, the French Catholic schools they attended for their primary education.〔 In addition to this French Catholic education, al-Din's father made sure she was also well educated in Islam. She was well versed in the Quran, Hadith, and Sharia (Islamic law), all of which played an incredibly important role in her writing.〔 (Pdf. )〕 She was also able to study and converse with various Islamic scholars (Ulama) during her lifetime. Many of these scholars were good friends of her father and spent a great deal of time in their home.〔 By the time she was a young woman Nadira Zain al-Din was considered an extremely cultured individual, especially on the subject of Islamism.
After graduation from the Sisters of Nazareth Convent school, al-Din wished to pursue a medical education at St. Joseph's, an all-male jesuit school in Beirut. Unfortunately she was denied entrance because she was a woman. She decided to attend Lycée Français Laique, a coed French institution where she graduated at the top of her class, even above all of the French male pupils.〔 After her graduation from Lycéc Français Laique, she decided not to pursue any other higher education and from there al-Din was able to begin her writing career.〔
