Nusayba bint Ka'b Al-Ansariyah
(Arabia, unknown-634 C.E.)
Nusayba was
of one of the first advocates for the rights of Muslim women.
Notably, she
asked the Prophet Muhammad,
"Why does God only address men (in the
Quran)?"
Soon after this exchange, the Prophet received a revelation in Chapter 33, Verse 35
that mentions women can attain every quality to which men have access.
The
verse also conclusively settled that women stand on the same spiritual level as
men.
