Darye Shafiq was an active member of Egyptian women movement who began a great struggle in order to get the political right of Egyptian women during the 1950’s and1960’s. Although not being the creator of this movement, Darye Shafiq could be considered the most influential face in these activities. Intensifying the campaign for political rights of Egyptian women so seriously, she could conduct it to get real and objective results. The most outstanding achievement of Shafiq was that she could make the movement a daily matter for the government. A review of her only book that is, Mer’at al-Mesriye not only helps us to understand Shafiq’s ideology and political manner, but also demonstrates the current conventional of the Egyptian society during the time producing the text and historical course of the Egyptian women movement as well.
