Habouba Haddad (1897 -1957) is a Lebanese writer, journalist, writer, owner of a literary salon, and owner of the first Lebanese women's magazine published in Europe[1], the New Life magazine, which she established in the French capital, Paris in 1920, and then in Beirut[2][3]. She is considered one of the pioneering Lebanese women in writing about Arab women's social issues and concerns and literary matters. It is also considered one of the pioneers in presenting radio programs for children.[1][4][5]

beginnings[edit]

Habouba Haddad was born on March 15, 1897, in the town of Barouk al-Shoufia, and died on November 8, 1957. Her son was Fouad Haddad, one of the pioneers of short story writing in Lebanon and the writer who used to append his daily column in the Kataeb newspaper with the signature of "Abu al-Han." He paid with his life for his satirical political comments on September 19, 1958, after his mother's death.[4][6][7]

Habouba studied French in addition to Arabic. She learned at the English School in Barouk, then moved to the English School in Shamlan, and attended some lessons at the American University.[8]

When Habouba was in the sixteenth year of her life, she met in her hometown the French orientalist Maurice Paris (1862-1923), where she represented her school with a speech Habouba gave in front of him under the title: "The Future of the Educated," on the day of her graduation on July 3 ( July) 1913, and this man had nothing but the best memory for her, then wrote to her that she would meet him in France, the day she went to her and established her magazine there.[1]

At the same age (i.e., at the age of sixteen), she married a relative, but this marriage ended after a short period, and its fruit was a son named Fouad (1915), and the divorce took place when she was eighteen years old.[1]

She received her studies at the American University of Beirut in economics and politics (1920). However, she did not practice her major, which she studied, but instead turned to literature, journalism, and media.

Her media and cultural activities[edit]

Habouba transformed Shibli Mallat's poem "Between the Arabs and the Levant" into a play, joined the "Young Women's Christian Union" and "The Shining Sun" school associations, and headed the women's workers branch of the Workers Union Party in 1919.

After graduating from university, Habouba went to Paris to publish her magazine "Al Hayat Al Jadeeda" in 1920, and Maurice Paris helped her issue it. Al-Raeda, and one year after the magazine's publication, her nostalgia for Lebanon, which was then under the mandate, intensified.[1]

The magazine lasted for about nine consecutive years, then it was forced to stop its publication after the mandate ruled it to do so. The country's national and political issues and Habouba had intellectual, cultural, and women's relations, especially in Europe, where she met with men of thought, culture, politics, and patriotism, especially since these media were exiled from their countries such as Lebanon and Syria.[1]

When the magazine appeared, and the first issue arrived in New York, Mikhail Naima published a story about it in Al-Sayeh newspaper, in which he said:

"It is easy to wish success (for the new life). It is not the least of the wishes. However, we are skeptical about the success of an Arab women's magazine in Paris. Not to mention that the need for it is little given what we have today. Is there no way for Mrs. Haddad to combine her strength with her sisters?, whether in Egypt or Syria, instead of adding an extra magazine?"[4]

Habouba took the first part of Naima's proposal, so she moved her magazine to Beirut and resumed publishing it until 1926. Several donated writers participated in editing with her, including the university student at the time, Saeed Taqi Al-Din.

Children's radio programs[edit]

Habouba Haddad had another media activity, represented by her presentation on the Lebanese Radio House before Radio Lebanon became a unique program for children, in 1938[9], during the French mandate over Lebanon. It can be said that her program is one of the first Arab radio programs of its kind. Through it, she addressed the children of Lebanon. She sought to educate them through short stories, the majority of which revolve around the village, beauty, and the homeland, in an exciting narrative style. It also hosted children singing some songs or performing some acting roles. Thus, we can also consider it a pioneer in children's literature and the radio programs through which it addressed children.[5][10]

Her literary salon[edit]

Habouba opened her literary salon in Beirut, and it continued to host the most prominent cultural, intellectual, and literary figures from 1948 to 1957, that is, the year of her death. The salon was open to accommodate both men and women.

Habouba and Gibran[edit]

The owner of Al-Maarad newspaper, Michel Zakour, asked her to write to the newspaper about her knowledge of Gibran Khalil Gibran. Laws and Traditions.[12]

When she visited Boston, she participated with Gibran in a double lecture attended by 15,000 of the Boston community. I asked him before the class:

"Are you Gibran? Then he put his hand on my shoulder and said jokingly: How can I believe you while I am defenseless from the shovels, and the remains of the graves, as you can see? Then he took me slowly to a chair next to him, and I sat, serenely taken in by that figure that the Latin high culture had bestowed upon me. Analyze it and with the radiance of that oblong face emptied in its composition, interrupted by the signs of heavenly genius, and how those eyes that I made yesterday are sore and barren, flowing with the lights of wisdom and knowledge."

In another meeting, Gibran asked "the enthusiastic and talented women," who is the competitor to Gerji Baz in the women's support: "Why are you killing your lofty talents in politics, journalism, and commerce?" He replied: "Return to your natural instinct and write one line of your feelings and emotions during the day, for the year does not pass without 365 eternal lines gathered at one of you." He asked his guest: "First you think that the one who said: death touched my living statue, and it became cold, has the gardens of eternity? Come write to Salma Sayegh and ask her to write more on this subject." He asked again: "Why don't you know it and know that it is one of the signs of our time."[4] The meetings between Gibran and Habouba continued until he died in 1931.[1][5]
