The Iraqi Lawyer Sabiha al-Sheikh Daoud

"The Woman's Voice" has been late in discovering that Miss Sabiha al-Sheikh Daoud is summering among us in the mountains! But it will not let the opportunity pass, even if it comes late, to show its good wishes and the sincerity of its affection for the gracious Iraqi guest — the more so as our readers have already, more than once, become acquainted with this brilliant womanly figure.

Miss Sabiha al-Sheikh Daoud's pride does not rest solely on her being the first Iraqi woman to obtain the Iraqi law degree, nor on her having taken firm progressive steps ever since gaining those credentials, working in the teaching and inspection service with great success; the whole pride lies in her having joined the corps of the Iraqi judiciary, becoming the first lady to win this high trust from her government — a thing we are still demanding in Lebanon, where we do not yet have a woman judge to hear the cases of juveniles and of women..

Miss Sabiha has, over and above all this, a wide activity in the Iraqi women's associations.. And she loves Lebanon, and lets not a single summer pass without visiting its hills for a month or two, for rest and for the renewal of friendships.

A thousand welcomes to our friend Sabiha, with generous and fragrant good wishes.
