Hanna K. Korany

From 1893 to 1895 she toured the United States, speaking on women's lives in Syria.

Hanna K. Korany was from Kfarshima in the Mount Lebanon region, and educated at a Presbyterian missionary school for girls in Beirut.

[1] She also wrote a novel in Arabic, and was somewhat prematurely labeled "the George Eliot of Syria" by one American newspaper.

[4] She also displayed Syrian women's embroidery and handiwork at the fair, reported on the fair for Al Fatat, a woman's magazine based in Egypt,[5] and wrote an essay, "The Glory of Womanhood", for the Congress of Women publication.

[7] In 1894 she attended the annual convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Washington, D.C.,[8] and spoke at a society dinner on the same program with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Lillie Devereux Blake, and May Wright Sewall.
