In addition, her magazine al-‘Arūs, which she started to publish in 1910, will be one of the subjects of this study due to its acceptance as the first woman-specific magazine in Syria and the importance of the subjects it covers. This magazine, in which Ajamī published articles on important issues such as women’s freedom, their role in society, and women’s education, also published articles by Jibrān Khalīl Jibrān (d. 1931), Ahmad Shawqī (d. 1932), Hāfiz Ibrāhīm (d. 1932), ez-Zahāwī (d. 1936), Khalil Mutran (d. 1949), Iliyyā Abū Mādī (d. 1957) and Mihāil Nuayme (d. 1988). The literary personality and contributions to the literary world of Ajamī, who has an important place in Syria’s nahda movement and who has attracted the attention of different masses with the reformist ideology she adopted in the political field, will be the focus of this study.
