Bint Al Nil

Bint Al Nil (Arabic: Daughter of the Nile) was a feminist magazine which was founded and edited by Doria Shafik, a well-known Egyptian woman journalist and activist, from 1945 to 1957 in Cairo, Egypt.

[5] As a result of this change in its content the magazine was accused of supporting women to quit their family roles and to enter into the workplace.

[6] In response to these accusations Doria Shafik published an article arguing that Bint Al Nil encouraged women to look for their rights and to pay attention to family life at the same time.

[10] In February 2018 Shiva Balagh exhibited her works in memory of Bint Al Nil and Doria Shafik's organization with the same name in Cairo.

[11] In 2022, four editorials published in Bint Al Nil between 1948 and 1957 were translated by Tom Abi Samra and made accessible online by Duke University Press's journal Meridians.
