Egyptian women's increasingly active presence in the public sphere, throughout the 20th century, has recently reflected itself in their active involvement and visible participation in the Egyptian revolution, since as Ahdaf Soueif states in an interview: "women have always been part of national and social movements and of politics. This revolution has been about everybody claiming agency and women have been very much part of that" (Soueif April2012, 63). It is in the light of women's agency, as both participants in and narrators of the revolution, that this paper attempts to study two women's literary texts, with particular emphasis on self­ representations of women's activism in the Egyptian revolution: Mona Prince's lsmi Thawra (My Name Is Revolution 2011) and Ahdaf Soueifs Cairo: My City, Our Revolution (2011).

Jean Said Makdisi's Teta, Mother and Me: An Arab Woman's Memoir is a feminist memoir of personal inquiry and historical research. It opens with a "Prelude" which tells the story of the process of writing the book, and Jean Makdisi's concern with form and genre appears from the opening lines of the book. By pointing out the time distance between the decision to write and the act of writing, she is indirectly referring to generic issues related to memoir as a literary genre. Moreover, the "Prelude" situates Jean Makdisi's identification with her mother and grandmother (Teta), as well as her intention to explore and connect the lives of three generations of women in her family, which she expresses by saying: "I was going to write a loving double biography of my mother and grandmother from the vantage point of my own unsettling experiences as a modern Arab woman"

Abstract
Background
War results in widespread destruction of a country's infrastructure, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions. This study aims to assess the attacks on medical schools amidst the ongoing conflict in Sudan.

Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted across 58 medical schools located in the states of Khartoum, Darfur, and Kordofan. Data on attacks between April 15, 2023, and July 15th 2023, were collected using online data collection form.

Results
All medical schools in conflict areas were included in the study. More than half (58.6%) of these medical schools were attacked. Private schools, constituting the majority of the study sample, were the most frequently attacked (70.6%). Of these, 52.9% were located in Khartoum city. More than one form of attack was reported in 64.7% of the affected schools. Looting occurred in 73.5% of the attacked faculties, while 67.6% of them were converted into military bases. Despite these challenges, 60.3% of the schools in the conflict zone managed to restore the educational process through online learning and collaboration with other institutions.

Conclusion
During a three-month period of warfare, most medical schools within conflict zones were attacked. This emphasizes the vulnerability of medical education institutions during war and highlights the urgent need of the Ministry of Higher Education interventions to provide leadership, support, and oversight for the educational process in medical schools across the country.
