Description

The Egyptian Feminist Union (Arabic: الاتحاد النسائي المصري ) was the first nationwide feminist movement in Egypt. It was founded at a meeting on 16 March, 1923 at the home of activist Hoda Shaarawi, who served as its first president until her death in 1947. The Union was affiliated to the International Alliance for Women's Suffrage. The EFU published the fortnightly periodical L'Egyptienne from 1925, and from 1937 the journal el-Masreyyah (The Egyptian Woman).
