In My View

Edvick J. Shayboub

عندي · ادفيك ج. شيبوب

It is May's right, owed her by literature, that she not go for nothing... For this flame that rose upon the Arab world bearing that light — it is her right, owed her by people, that she not be set under a bushel.

And it is May's right, owed her by the Arab woman, that the Arab woman herself take up this flame, to light woman's path on her long march. For May was a splendid, superb possibility of the good that woman can achieve, and of the beauty, truth, and goodness that can be realized in woman's soul.

May was a living model of woman's will and woman's genius, and it is woman's right to glorify this will and this genius.

For this reason The Woman's Voice presents its special issue on May, on the occasion of the eighth anniversary of her death.
