[3] Throughout her writing journey, Zaynab possessed a competitive character and competed with the work of Muhammad Hussein Heikal, and challenged Qasim Amin's call for women liberation.

[5] In Joseph Zeidan's account: Zaynab Fawwāz represents a unique phenomenon among the pioneering women writers.

Most sources agree that when she was young, Fawwaāz served as a maid at the palace of ʿAlī Bey al-Asʿad al-Ṣaghīr.

Her work at the palace proved to be of great benefit to her; it gave her the chance to associate with Fāṭimah al-Khalīl, the prince's wife, who was a poet.

The environment that she was living in helped reveal her true talents, and she wrote numerous letters that were published in the main newspapers of Egypt.

She wrote a biographical dictionary called "الدر المنثور في طبقات ربات الخدور/al-Durr al-manthur fi tabaqat rabbat al-khudur" or The Book of Scattered Pearls Regarding Categories of Women.

Fawwaz issued her works and articles in many papers such as Al-Moayyed, Al-Nile, Al-Ahali, Al-Liwaa, Al-Ustaz, Al-Fata, and others.

[4] When Zaynab moved to Alexandria, Egypt, she became the student of the poet and owner of Al-Nil Magazine, Hasan Husni Pasha Al-Tuwayrani.

Under his guidance, she began to write articles on social issues affecting women, under the pseudonym of Durrat al-Sharq (Pearl of the East).

"[7] It was during her stay in Damascus with her second husband, the writer Adib Nazmi al-Dimashqi, that Zaynab Fawwaz founded a literary salon.

She stressed the importance and the necessity of granting women their rights and widening their scope of activity in the community, particularly in the field of science.

Kourani's article was published in the newspaper "Lebanon" in which she called for restricting women's work to households and leaving all the other social/political activities for men.

Zaynab called for novel principles and for new laws that guarantee the regulation of women's lives and their rights in education and work.

Fawwaz criticized many factors that were prevailing back then: the elimination of women's free will, the obligation of the veil upon them, and preventing them from a proper education...

In addition, Fawwaz complained about the fact that women were prevented from exercising any political, social, national, and cultural role and thus limiting them to household works.
