Criticism of women poetry in the Hijaz in the first century and the social phenomena that helped its emergence
Abstract
It is strange that the presence of women in poetry is not paralleled by the presence of women in criticizing poetry without this being understood, especially with the absence of interest in studying the poetic experiences of the poetess, which imposes on the critical woman a task that it does not yet seem to be aware of or eager to do. This responsibility does not in any way mean dividing criticism on the basis of the gender of its owner, nor isolating the critical practice according to these gender requirements, although the female critic may be more able to listen to what the womans poem says than the mans critic, but it has not met in this history of Arab literary criticism. The women's gathering, as a number of the elite of the Quraysh women and some Arab women criticized the poetry of ghazal that was common in the Hijaz.
