The television dialogue with Al -Fateh satellite channel, in which I was hosted recently to analyze the beginnings of women’s journalistic, literary and cultural writing in the Kingdom of Bahrain, was very interesting, I felt that I sailed in a beautiful time that we missed a lot after social media withdrew the rug from the era of forums, blogs, cultural, literary and poetic sites that were a platform for wealthy intellectual discussions.
I warn that Bahrain is that it is the first Gulf country that was concerned with regular education in 1928, because this had a great impact in definitely on the journalistic and literary movement of the women of Bahrain, and I found me contemplating the large transitional stage between the thirties in which the Bahraini women were participating with pseudonyms hidden from a society that does not accept to mention her name publicly to a stage that has been written in her explicit name and reviews beside her writings, and since the day of the press is the day The global must here invoke the memory of our journalistic history in the Kingdom of Bahrain by Bahraini women’s pens and how the journalistic scene of Bahraini women changed, which can be described as the niqaba in the mid -thirties until TV and cinema entered Bahraini society in the period of the 1940s and some women have become families with openness attending cinematic shows at a time when the cinema was allocating a day or two days for women only every week until a balcony is allocated Especially for women in the cinema house, leading to the possibility of choosing any day, any time and any place where you would like to sit in the cinema.
Of course, when the Bahraini women in the sixties appeared in their explicit name, she faced great challenges, psychological wars, bulbness, societal, and rumors, and the most tried for me the woman’s arm in it, hitting her reputation and respect as a woman who has the right to express her opinion and speak in her true name, but it is calculated for women’s pens in that period their great steadfastness and compound in a society governed by customs and traditions The male is uncommon for him to go out a woman to write in the press and discuss societal, political and literary issues, and perhaps the most challenging of the woman, how to write poetic and emotional writings in her name in a society that is still unconscious and does not absorb intellectual creativity and poetic inspiration, and of course these female pens did not despair but have even confronted their families and those surrounding them, until a new dawn was born to newspapers and literature Bahraini women, and we cannot lose sight of here that the phenomenon of writing with borrowed names or writing by name in the article without including the image and poems with pseudonyms, a phenomenon that continued until the beginning of the millennium, and perhaps it has completely ended with the era of social networking sites as it became familiar and very regular to write in its outright name and attach its pictures with her writings.
We invoke the history of Bahraini women’s journalistic and cultural women, here we must invoke the history and struggles of the journalist writer Fawzia Rashid and the child of the caliph, for they are the first to break Tabu, the appearance of a journalist and literary woman, Professor Fawzia Rashid is considered the first Bahraini woman who wrote the novel and the short story, and she has published novels that were considered “Trend” at the level of the Arab world from the eighties to the nineties and the beginning of the siege For the year 1983, which was chosen among the most important Arabic novel in the twentieth century, and was the best of the Bahraini in the square of novels and short stories, while the child’s child is one of the first journalists of the seventies generation when she worked in Bahrain Journal today in 1972, and we do not lose sight of that Professor Samira Bint Rajab, who is one of the most prominent political analysts and literature at the level of the Arab world and has very deep intellectual writings in the press Arabic.
