Al-Fatah (Arabic: الفتاة / ALA-LC: al-Fatāh, meaning "the young girl") was an Arabic women's magazine published in Alexandria, Egypt. The magazine was the first Arab women's magazine[1] and was one of the earliest publications in the country.[2] It was published from 1892 to 1894.

History and profile

Al-Fatah was launched by Hind Nawfal,[1] a Syrian Christian woman, in Alexandria in 1892.[3][4][5] Nawfal's father and sister also contributed to the establishment of the magazine[6] of which the first issue appeared on 30 November 1892.[7]

Al-Fatah was published by Nawfal for two years.[1][8][9] She also wrote editorials for the magazine,[9] which was published monthly in its initial stage.[1] Later it began to be published twice a month due to its growing popularity.[1]

Being the first women's magazine in the country[7] as well as in the Arab countries[6] Al-Fatah initiated the tradition of the women’s press in Egypt.[10] The magazine covered biographies of notable figures in addition to news towards women.[11] In addition, the magazine included book reviews, poems and fashion articles.[3] Al-Fatah encouraged the participation of women in public life and debates and advocated modern ideals for women.[7] Therefore, it provided secular content and was a truly feminist magazine.[10]

Al-Fatah ceased publication in 1894[11] when the founder and publisher Nawfal married and stopped dealing with the magazine.[1] The complete archive of the magazine was republished by the Women and Memory Forum in Egypt.[8]
