[5] After receiving her high school diploma in 1924, she wrote an open letter to the parliament decrying the 1923 constitution which did not allow women to participate in the electoral processes and run as candidates.

[9] When Thabit completed her law degree in 1933, the EFU finally invited her and other recent graduates to a party to honor their achievements and for the first time, she was allowed to insert some of the issues that were important to her into their women's rights agenda.

[10] In 1939, at the invitation of Huda Sha'arawi, who was president of the EFU,[11] Thabit and Ceza Nabarawi attended the International Alliance of Women Conference held in Copenhagen.

[12] Thabit was cautioned that she must not include any revolutionary agenda or press for political rights, but instead must support pacifism and accept the order colonialism provided.

[13] Out of these conferences, came Thabit's inspiration for her 1939 "red book" (a reference to something endangered) publication of قضية فلسطين (The Cause of Palestine), as a response to Britain's white paper[10] and to directly challenge Western imperialism.

[17] That same year, she published her memoirs, البرج العاجي : مذكراتي في عشرين عاما عن حقوق المرأة السياسية (A Revolution in the Ivory Tower: My Memories of Twenty Years of Struggle for Women's Political Rights, memoir), which focused exclusively on public and political commentary during her lifetime, to retaliate against claims that women were incapable of serious analysis and focused on silly stories.
