In the introduction of booklet Dr. Hanan said “Arab women, walk on a road full of obstacles; all sorts of customs, traditions, social stigma and even laws could restrict them from accomplishing their ambitions. Despite all this, womwn were able to achieve a lot, both at the local and international levels. This is due to the increase of female education that allowed women to enter some professional domains that in the past, were reserved for men. Women physicists are the best example of the women’s success in overcoming obstacles and assuming professional roles side by side with men”.
