الأستاذ محمود محمد طه لأمنا آمنة: هذا بعض ما أرسلتني لأحضره، فهو منك و إليك (صور)

Quote: being in Lutfi's part of town meant that Taha lived in an area where women were more likely to be educated and have greater freedom. In later life, al-Rabb Biyjud would reminisce about his courteous manners towards women - she called him al -darrag or protector . Sayyida and her sister were allowed to leave the house on their own. Sayyida herself often spoke to Taha, although he was not a close relative, and girls were not supposed to speak to boys outside the immediate family. Taha agreed with her that it was a fine thing for girls to have their freedom. The education of women of his generation can be seen in the Rufa'a of today, where elderly ladies read the Qur'an and the newspapers - in 1956 the literacy rate of that generation of women was estimated in at under half of one percent .
