Did You Know?
Alumnae
of the American Junior College for Women actively campaigned for
gender equality and equity in the country. In the late 1940s Eva Badre
Malik (’34), Lily Badre (’34) and Jamal Karam Harfouche (’35)
founded the League of Lebanese Women to
provide a
platform for women’s rights. Ahead
of a parliamentary session to vote on women’s suffrage in 1949, the
Beirut Chapter of the Alumnae Association presided by Mary Hanania
Regier (’44) drafted telegrams they would send to the President of the
Republic and the Chamber of Deputies asking “in the name of College
graduates, that the Lebanese woman be granted her full political
rights.”
