I am very honored that I was first woman in the history of Egypt to vote. Last year, the constitution granted women equal rights. After Nasser became president, women finally started to gain rights and freedom from having virtually no rights. Employment, education, political rights are all gained. Thank you, Nasser. It is now women’s turn to run the history. We will show that the women are equal or, perhaps better, than the men.
