In this article of his, "Tawfiq al-Hakim" supposes that woman is by her nature a "reporter" of the first order. And "reporter" here carries the meaning the great Egyptian man of letters intends... There is no doubt that our writer has an opinion of his own in this article, which we present to the readers of "The Woman's Voice"?? Nor shall we forget to remind readers that Tawfiq al-Hakim was, in times gone by, a sworn enemy of woman. The Editors
I have always believed that woman is better suited than man to the most important branch of the profession
of journalism, which is the gathering of news... For the journalist, so far as I know, is of two kinds: "editor" and
"reporter"... and woman, in my view, was created by nature a "reporter" of the first order...
I remember that a cultivated young woman asked me one day for my opinion of her taking up journalism... and whether this work suited her nature as a woman?... I said to her: Rest assured that woman is a newspaper reporter by instinct... whether she joins a newspaper or joins her home... In Paradise, "Adam" was calm, gentle, and still, thinking of nothing, with no news reaching his world... So who brought him the news?... I mean the proposal of Iblis to eat the forbidden fruit? Was it not "Eve" who conveyed to Adam this important piece of news?!
Who was it that listened to the talk of the "serpent," held "conversations" with her, drew news from her, and passed it on to Adam? Was it not Eve?... I believe that this incident was the first act of journalism since the beginning of creation. And thus "Eve" was the first woman reporter to appear in the universe, before the idea of the press had crossed the mind of any creature...
