Introducing my thesis project: Recognizing Female Egyptian Pioneers Through Postage Stamps, highlighting nine of many women, who have ascended into the Pioneers Generation in the early 1900’s, defying the social norms that belonged to Egyptian communities then. By recognizing their achievements through postage stamps, this project pays a tribute to them and gives some of them the recognition that they should have received, especially during a time that postage stamp design was used as a mass medium to send such messages.
