Abstract

Samīra ‘Azzām (1927-1967) is the first Palestinian woman to achieve
fame for her mastery to write short stories. After reviewing her life, she spent in
exile since 1948, the content of her collections of stories, its main thematic lines,
and her Arabic translations from works of world literature are summarized. But
the chief part of this paper will be dedicated to describe and discuss some of its
most prominent short stories.
