Egyptian women, like many other women, have great potential once they unleash their power. Eva habil, Passant Refaat, and Radwa Saad El Din are three women who took the lead in three different fields. In December 2008, I quoted Muslimah Media Watch<\/em> <\/a>who blogged about Eva Habil, a 53 year-old Christian lawyer, who became Egypt’s first female mayor <\/a>on December 14, representing Komboha, a rural town in conservative Upper Egypt with a Coptic majority community. On her blog, Ayam wa Ayam<\/em>, Shaymaa El Gammal <\/em>interviewed Passant Refaat<\/a>, Egypt's first Female DJ:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Shaymaa: And what about the rest of your family? Did they support you? How? Passant: Without the support of my family I wouldn’t have been the 1st female DJ. Starting from my brother Tarek who taught me the art of DY-ing, and also gave me support and help in any thing I got lost in. As for my mum, I was only 15 years old and it was hard for me but she was always helping me and pushing me to go further and better. Also Ahmed my brother always accompanied me, because it is very hard for a girl to stay out late especially in clubs and parties, they supported me and helped me to unleash this talent I got for DY-ing. Shaymaa: What obstacles did you face as a female DJ? Passant: I used to stay for 12 hours a day mixing and tying out things, it was sometimes very difficult, but I have to say that I enjoyed every second of it. Nothing can replace the feeling of doing the thing you love to do most. I tried to work at some places, but the answer was "you are very young and we don’t have a permission for girls to work here, but I didn’t give up, I was determined to do something that brings me joy, as u know everything is always difficult at the beginning. The biggest of all obstacles was my studies besides DY-ing. It was very hard to have a party till very late at night and you have a university in the morning, and some times there are parties during my exams, but I could totally manage my time and I did both at the same without one interfering the other. Shaymaa: How do men think about you as a female DJ? Passant: Actually they thought it was very nice, they used to come and speak to me and encourage me.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite her green 18 years of age, Radwa Saad El Din was determined to take a path that has never been trodden by another girl to set foot in a field that used to be male-specific. Tanoura dancing is Turkish heritage that the young female dancer stumbled upon by pure coincidence; famous Tanoura dancer Sami El Seweisy chose her among a few other girls to train them on the techniques of the dance. He wanted to introduce this art in a new form but day after day the number of girls began decreasing until no one was left but Radwa who fell in love with this art and took it up as her profession. The crowds cheer upon seeing a female doing all the spinning when their eyes were only used to men; but Radwa does not focus on the crowd as she is totally engulfed in the Sufi<\/a> words and her moves. Her father, who refuses the other forms of art, encourages her to be a tanoura dancer. Radwa tells us that the "tanoura" originally means a skirt – a female attire – so why would the dance be masculine? The weight of Radwa's tanoura is 15 kilograms that seems to vanish when she is doing her 20 minute spin.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Egyptian women, like many other women, have great potential once they unleash their power. Eva habil, Passant Refaat, and Radwa Saad El Din are three women who took the lead in three different fields.
