'Where
is the other half of Egypt?’
Madame Cama held the view that in the advancement of the nation women have an
important part to play and said that they must share all difficulties and
responsibilities.
Speaking at the National Conference (1910) in Egypt she said:
I see here only the representatives of one half of Egypt. The assembly is full of only
men. Where is the other half of Egypt?
"Sons of Egypt, where are your mothers? Where are you sisters? Do not forget that the
hand that rocks the cradle shapes the individual. Do not forget that the role of women in
also important in building a nation." |
