Afifa Al Shartouni

Afifa Al Shartouni (25 March 1886 – 6 February 1906) was a Lebanese author. Born in Beirut, she married Nasri Mousa and traveled with him to Brazil, where she died shortly after.

Biography Born in Beirut, Lebanon, on 25 March 1886, she spent her early days studying at Madrasat Al-Rahbat Al-Nassira, until her father transferred her to Aintoura school, and then to Taqadom school in Beirut.

In 1905, Afifa Al Shartouni married Nasri Mousa from Bikfaya, a town in Lebanon. She then traveled with him to Pará, Brazil.

She died in 1906 in Pará, Brazil.

Published works After her death, her father collected her and her sister's work and published them as a book named "نفحات الوردتين" as a tribute to his late daughters. Unfortunately, the book appears to be lost to time, as the publisher "Dar Al-Moktabas" kept no records of it, and none of the Lebanese national libraries have it.
