Fadwa Touqan

Fadwa Tuqan (born in Nablus in 1917 and died in the same city in 2003) is one of the great female voices of Palestinian poetry. In her poems of struggle (such as “The Martyrs of the Intifada”), she evokes the suffering of her people and the harshness of the occupation. Her memoirs allow us to follow her from her childhood, stifled by patriarchal rules, to her years as an activist, when she strove to serve the Palestinian cause through her encounters and her widely recognized literary work.
