“Six years ago, my mom in her blue dupatta -- -- praying in Tahrir square a few months after Mubarak fell. She and the other two women beside her casually put down newspaper and cardboard onto the asphalt. Praying side by side next to men -- no fanfare, no controversy. There were so many mundane revolutionary moments in those early days. They may not go down in history books or be reflected in political analysis, but they mattered. This is how social change happens over the long haul -- seemingly ordinary (yet extraordinary) barely traceable moments like these.” - Maryum Saifee
