THE LUXE ART

Saïd Zeineddine Guardian of the Archive

N

azira Zeineddine was a Lebanese feminist and daughter of Judge Saïd Zeineddine who fought for justice, democracy, and who supported his daughter in becoming a pioneer in the Arab World through her two groundbreaking books that defied society’s strict norms: Al-Sufoor Wal Hijab (1928) and Al-Fatat Wal Shuyookh (1929). Their detailed stories would not have been as widely known without the effort of a man who took upon himself the role of spreading their contributions to society across the world. His name is Saïd Zeineddine, the grandson of Judge Saïd Zeineddine and nephew of the feminist Nazira Zeineddine.
