Palm Reading Oversized Tee

Doria Shafik published Bint al-Nil as a vehicle for political mobilization and cultural discourse. The magazine combined calls for suffrage with lifestyle content to engage a broad female readership. This palmistry diagram appeared in the publication to illustrate the traditional practice of qira’at al-kaff. The Arabic script provides the specific nomenclature for the lines of the hand. It identifies the primary lines of the heart, head, and life. Such features integrated mystical heritage into the modernizing framework of the mid-century Egyptian feminist movement.
