Andrea Emily Stumpf shares the extraordinary story of documenting the life of her great-great-grandmother, Sayyida Salma, the first Arab woman to publish memoirs.
We delve into her groundbreaking life, from defying cultural norms in the 19th century to her marriage to a German man, and her lasting impact on Arab and women's studies.
Andrea also discusses her collaborative translation effort with her German-born mother, bridging cultural gaps to preserve Sayyida Salma's authentic voice.
From the challenges of self-publishing to the creative freedom it offers, this episode explores the historical and personal motivations behind bringing her books Memoirs of an Arabian PrincessandLetters to the Homeland to a wider audience.
