Background and career

Jamil Sidqi al-Zahawi (Arabic: جميل صدقي الزهاوي, ALA-LC: Jamīl Ṣidqī al-Zahāwī; 17 June 1863 – January 1936) was a prominent Iraqi poet and philosopher. He is regarded as one of the greatest contemporary poets of the Arab world and was known for his defence of women's rights.

Born to a Baghdadi family of Kurdish origins, he was educated in various literature and grammar forms translated into Arabic, mastering various languages. He served in various Ottoman administrations and taught philosophy in various regions. Described as a liberal thinker and an "agnostic", he was controversial for advocating the adaptation of Western sciences, thoughts, modernism, and national freedom, as well as for his stance on women's rights. Al-Zahawi is regarded as one of the big three of leading neo-classical Iraqi poets alongside al-Rusafi, and al-Jawahiri.
