May Ziade, pujangga Lebanon
May Ziade (1886-1941) was a Lebanese-Palestinian poet and translator, seen as a “pioneer of Oriental feminism”. She was a prolific writer and an important figure in the cultural renaissance of the Arab world at the beginning of the 20th century.
She was an accomplished polyglot, completely bilingual in Arabic and French, and knew several other languages including English, Italian, German and Spanish. She was a strong proponent of women’s rights and gender equality, and at one point was even admitted to a psychiatric hospital for expressing feminist views. During the 1920s and 30s she hosted the most famous literary salon of the Arab world in Cairo.

May Elias Ziadeh (/ziˈɑːdə/ zee-AH-də; Arabic: مي إلياس زيادة, ALA-LC: Mayy Ilyās Ziyādah; 11 February 1886 – 17 October 1941) was a Lebanese-Palestinian poet, essayist, and translator, who wrote many different works both in Arabic and in French.
After attending school in her native city Nazareth and in Lebanon, May Elias Ziadeh immigrated along with her family to Egypt in 1908, and started publishing her works in French (under the pen name Isis Copia) in 1911.
May Elias Ziadeh held one of the most famous literary salons in the modern Arab world in the year 1921. After suffering some personal losses at the beginning of the 1930s, she came back to Lebanon where her relatives placed her in a psychiatric hospital. However, she was able to get out of it, and then left for Cairo, where she later died.
May Elias Ziadeh was one of the key figures of the Nahda in the early 20th-century Arab literary scene and a "pioneer of Oriental feminism."
Ziadeh believed in liberating women and the first wave focused on doing just that through education, receiving voting rights, and finally having representation in government. Via Wikipedia
