Mahiya Najib (1926-1982), was a Yemeni women's rights activist, editor and journalist.
In the 1950s, Nagib edited the women's column of the weekly newspaper al-Nahda.
When she founded Fatat Shamsan, it was the first women's journal in the Arabian Peninsula.
Her opening editorial emphasised the importance of women's journalism in pressing for women's rights: Women's journalism in sister Arab countries contributed greatly in pressuring their governments to grant the woman her rights, open schools and universities for her, and provide her with the opportunity to make a living.
