Biography

Zulaija Al-Shahabi
Zulaija Al-Shahabi

Zulaija Al-Shahabi (1901-1992), was a Palestinian women's rights activist.

She was a founding member of the pioneer women's organization Arab Women's Association of Palestine in 1929, and served as its first treasurer. The pioneers of the Palestinian women's movement generally came from the minority of unveiled modernist middle class women with Western education, who advocated women's emancipation in order to contribute to the success of a future free Palestine.

She arranged and participated in a number of demonstrations in favor of Palestinian independence. She was also a major contributor in humanitarian work in favor of Palestinitians.

She was one of the co-founders of the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964.
