Feminist activist Nola Darwish lived a life full of events. She grew up in an Egyptian Jewish family, to a mother and father who chose to side with the causes of the Egyptian people and converted to Islam. Her father was a member of the Egyptian Communist Party and a lawyer known for defending the rights of the working class. Her mother shared this life with him out of conviction. Her father was imprisoned several times for many years, and the entire family paid a heavy price for this choice. Nola Darwish absorbed the love of her homeland and always sided with those who suffered from oppression and injustice, and those who bravely confronted them.
After obtaining her degree in French literature and education, she moved between jobs, working as a French language teacher, and lived in Cairo, Algeria, Prague, and Moscow. She met activists from several countries, struggled in various ways, participated in partisan life in Egypt and public work through civil society organizations to defend women's rights, published articles defending human rights in general and women's rights in particular, and participated in establishing the New Woman Foundation.
This is a vibrant and inspiring biography of an Egyptian activist against the backdrop of the major changes that occurred in Egyptian social, cultural, economic, and political life from the 1950s until the January 2011 revolution.
