Dr. Saniyya Habbub, and How She Studied Medicine

الدكتوره سنية حبوب وكيف درست الطب

It was a delightful gathering, bringing together a goodly number of graduates of Beirut College for Women who had answered their association's invitation to hear Dr. Saniyya Habbub speak of the venture of the first Lebanese Muslim girl into the field of medicine!

The talk was enjoyable to a very great degree. I shall content myself for now with noting it, so as to return in a coming issue to a presentation of the story with some fullness and detail... And I do not suppose that "the pioneer of the Muslim woman into the liberal professions and material independence" — I do not suppose she will begrudge "The Woman's Voice" her story, so rich in lessons and adventures.

And as we thank Dr. Saniyya Habbub for her delightful talk, we promise the readers a meeting — may it be soon..
