Today, Saturday, the giant of the Internet search engines, "Google", celebrated the birthday of the late Egyptian writer Eleva Refaat, who was famous for her many daring stories.

And "Google" published on its front page in the Arab region a drawing of the late Egyptian writer holding a pen.

Google sends a greeting to Elifah Refaat .. Who is she?

Alifa Refaat was born on June 5, 1930 in the Egyptian capital, Cairo. Her real name is Fatima Abdullah Refaat.

She was known as the "Princess of Protest Literature" because her short stories challenged social norms imposed on female relationships, sexuality and emotional battles, and reflected the lives of women in rural Egypt.

Aleifa Rifaat wrote her first story about the village her family used to frequent in the summer, when she was only 9 years old.

Although her older sister reprimanded her for writing, the Egyptian writer stuck to her dreams and continued writing, joining Cairo University to study English in the late 1940s, although her parents initially rejected the idea.

Between 1955 and 1965, the Egyptian writer relied on publishing her work under a pseudonym.

And her sister wasn't the only one who tried to silence her. Her husband was reluctant to help her and for more than a decade refused to allow her to publish her work.

In the early seventies, Eleva Rifaat started writing stories again, and in 1983 she published a collection of short stories entitled "The Far View of the Minaret", in which 15 novels dealt with forbidden topics.

Her works have been translated into many foreign languages, including English, German, Swedish and Dutch, and her famous story "My Unknown World" has contributed to its worldwide spread.

She died on January 4, 1996 in the Egyptian capital, Cairo
