Safiyya al-Baghdadiyya

Safiyya al-Baghdadiyya (Arabic: صفية البغدادية) was a Medieval Arabic poet writing during the 12th Century CE.

This late period of the Abbasids has been called a Golden Age which 'created a liberal, but elite, society keen to enjoy Allah's earthly gifts'.

The diwans (collected poems) of female poets were not as well recorded, and little is known about al-Baghdadiyya's life.

[3] The poem demonstrates al-Baghdadiyya's liberal outlook and remarkable self-confidence:I am the wonder of the world, the ravisher of hearts and minds.Once you’ve seen my stunning looks, you’re a fallen man.
