This German book with the translated title of "Arab Spring?: Old and New Gender Politics in a Region in Transition" by Dagmar Filter, Eva Fuchs, and Jana Reich is about the political and social participation of women and men in Muslim societies before, during and after the Arab Spring, as well as the significance of gender (de)constructions in a changing society. The Arab Spring is defined as a wave of pro-democratic protests and uprisings that took place in the Middle East and North Africa in the early 2010's. The movement pushed for reform of the outdated Muslim ideas and patriarchal oppression that affected the women of the region in terms of political participation and personal freedoms. The source is relevant to Shahfa because it quotes her and her mindset on ways of going about reform. The quote is about how mothers play a role in the change of the future, and that by raising children with the correct ideals and strong masculinity that can assist in upholding a reborn nation.

The book titled Pluralism and Party Transformation in Lebanon: Al-Kata'ib, 1936-1970 is about the political changes that the middle eastern region has gone through over time. The book was written by John Entelis, a Professor of Political Science and Director of the Middle East Studies Program at Fordham University, making the source a reliable source. The book relates to the wikipedia article since it talks about the the journal Rose Shahfa worked for, the Al Amal, and how it was a far right political journal, serving the purpose of being the source of information the party wanted reaching the people. this information gives context to the reason for Rose Shahfa writing what she did while she was with the journal, since she struggled to find work as a journalist and used the controlling aspect of the media in her favor in getting her message out.

The book by Sania Lanfranchi titled "Casting Off the Veil: The Life of Huda Shaarawi, Egypt's First Feminist." is a very literally titled book, being about the life events of Huda Shaarawi, an Egyptian woman born into a wealthy family who grew to become an activist against British occupation in Egypt and in women's rights. She became especially famous when she took an overnight march in veils to the leaders of the Egyptian resistance who were being detained by British forces. This source is relevant to Shahfa since it is a fellow women's activist who was a part of the IAWS or International Alliance for Women's Suffrage. It points out the first arab women's conference, and how when Shaarawi was the secretary of the Union of Haifa, Shahfa was the leader of the Lebanese feminist union and a member of the International Alliance for Women's Suffrage since 1935.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263488315_Women_politics_and_power_a_global_perspective_-_By_Pamela_Paxton_and_Melanie_M_Hughes

The book by Pamela Paxton and Melanie Hughes focuses on introducing related concepts and roles of women in politics. Credibility for this piece stems from Paxton being a sociology and public affairs professor at the University of Texas in Austin and Hughes being a Ph.D. student under Paxton. They both are women, which prevents the biases discussed involving predominantly male information on subjects such as this. The relevance of this source has to do with the statement of her part in the fight for women's suffrage in Syria, since it states that the women of Syria gained universal suffrage in 1953. Without this segment of information in the block about her actions, it creates a sense of incompleteness and feels almost belittling in the sense that it doesn’t acknowledge her part in an actual historical accomplishment.

The source titled "The Maronites, Lebanon and the State of Israel: Early Contacts" is a journal article on the history on the religious group known as the Maronites and their impacts in the Middle East. The article was written by Eyal Zisser, a Professor of Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University, bringing some reliability and credibility to the source. It relates to the article because it adds information on the al Amal journal and its role in the society Rose Shahfa aimed to change. The article also talks about the journal frequently writing anti-Israeli news and article.
