Dorra Bouzid (Arabic: درة بوزيد; 1933 – 24 September 2023) was a Tunisian journalist, art critic, and feminist.
After her father died, her mother Cherifa defied family expectation by moving to Nabeul in the early 1930s, riding a bicycle, teaching primary school and marrying the writer Mahmoud Messadi.
There she joined the North African Muslim Students Association, and helped organize a newspaper combining nationalism and syndicalism, before returning to Tunis to practice pharmacy.
[2] The editor of the nationalist newspaper L'Action recruited Bouzid to write a women's column, which became a full page entitled "Feminine Action'.
She was fascinated by Habib Bourguiba, the first president of independent Tunisia, who worked towards equality between men and women in the Arab world and who also admired the journalist's articles.
