غازية الخناقة (662 ه 1263 م)‎ : صفحة من الجريمة النسائية في مصر المملوكية

Abstract EN

Historical chronicles contain a variety of news and scenes of women which deserve study and exploration, especially since women’s image in history is the most prominent contemporary cultural proof of knowledge of the mental structure of the communities related to the role of women and their status in society in the past and present time.

Although these images are partially preserved and governed by the author's awareness and culture, all this does not detract from these social images its social dimension nor does it detract from their right to scientific and cultural benefit.

This article deals with the study of a woman in Egypt during the Mamluk era, around the year 1263.

This woman called Ghazia Al-khanaqa was famous in the city for her beauty and the extravagance of her apparel.

Ghazia used her beauty to steal and kill men.

This article presents what was written about Ghazia in chronicles.

Although it is very important as an expression of women’s crime in that era, too little was referred to her because she was an element among those who were marginalized and forgotten to be mentioned by public Historians.
