The women's movement in the Arab world was initially initiated by men; however, leadership ultimately transitioned to women. “Aisha Taymur,” a traditionalist Egyptian poet, and “May Ziadah,” a modernist Syrian writer advocated for this liberation from two distinct perspectives. The present study employs a descriptive and analytical methodology to investigate this movement within the Arab world, reflecting on the perspectives of these two authors. It endeavors to address the question of the fluctuations experienced by this movement. The findings of the study indicate that within the Arab world, two intellectual currents have engaged with the challenges surrounding this issue. One perspective is characterized by extreme traditionalism, opposing any involvement of women in society. In contrast, another viewpoint advocates for women’s advancement solely through unconditional liberation from historical traditions and emulation of Western ideals. Meanwhile, a more moderate approach has been articulated by “Aisha Taymur” and “May Ziyadah,” who propose that the ideal resolution for this movement lies in a harmonious integration of tradition and modernity, while simultaneously honoring the various dimensions of social life. Despite their distinct intellectual origins—one grounded in Islamic tradition and the other a Christian influenced by Western thought and oriented towards modernity—both shared a conviction that transforming the perception and treatment of women was deemed a historical imperative. Therefore, whenever the discourse surrounding the infringed rights of women arose, the two would articulate their perspectives in unison.
