El-Baz received her Ph.D. from the Department of Economics and Politics, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK.[7][8] El-Baz was an expert in Development,[9] Civil Society,[10] Gender Issues,[11] Poverty, Children in Difficult Circumstances, and Globalization policies.[12][13] El-Baz has authored and researched various topics related to women's group formation in Egypt,[14][15] democratisation processes, and the impact of economic sanctions and structural adjustment development programs on the socioeconomic status of Egyptians.[8][12]

El-Baz met Archie Mafeje while he was the Chair of the Urban Development and Labour Studies Program at the International Institute of Social Studies in the Netherlands between 1972 and 1975.[16] Mafeje married Shahida El-Baz in 1977. They had a daughter, Dana.[17][18][19]: 51  Mafeje had to convert to Islam before they were wed because El-Baz was Muslim.[19]: 59  El-Baz remembered that Mafeje was reading in his study on 6 October 1981, when Sadat was assassinated; while watching television news, El-Baz shouted, "Archie, Sadat has been shot!" After Mafeje asked "Is he dead?" and heard a reply in the affirmative, he opened a bottle of champagne to make a toast.[20]: 65
