The Image of Women through the Observations of Prince Osama bin Munqidh in his Book "Al-I'tibar"

Abstract

The issue of women has been a significant concern for many Muslim authors and writers who have addressed it from various angles. This matter has been highlighted and explained in greater detail by those who provided personal descriptions of women's social and political lives, especially in the regions and countries they passed through. They described her situation meticulously based on their personal observations, which they documented in works discussing their personal experiences.

Prince Osama bin Munqidh, in his book "Al-I'tibar," also described the condition of women in the Levant, who lived under challenging political, economic, and social conditions characterized by chaos and instability as people moved from one city to another. His descriptions were clear and expressive, honestly portraying the challenges that women faced during that time.
