The Role of Women in the Scientific and Cultural Construction of Islamic Civilization during the Abbasid Era: An Analytical Reading of the Contributions of the Third Century AH (200–300 AH / 815–912 AD)

Abstract

The Abbasid era، particularly in the third century AH، witnessed the peak of Islamic civilization's prosperity in various fields of knowledge. The translation and authorship movement flourished، intellectual schools flourished، and research and educational methods developed. The importance of research became apparent through shedding light on the neglected contributions of women to the scientific and cultural history of Islamic civilization، and by revealing the positive interaction of women with the intellectual environment in the Abbasid era، particularly in the third century AH، while presenting a critical analytical reading of heritage sources from the perspective of women's scientific and cultural presence.
