August 2024 |Mahjubah Magazine41There were no women in Yazid%u2019s army, women who had never seen the sun or moonlight. They had left the war and society to men who were ignorant, incomplete, and unwise. They were waiting behind the curtain for the guards to return and pour Hussain%u2019s blood on the marble floor, under their amber hair.In Hussain%u2019s small corps, there were many women. These women were the stage managers. From Zainab to Rubab, from Junadah%u2019s wife to Zuhair%u2019s wife, from Wahab%u2019s mother to Amr%u2019s mother, no woman was tired or asleep,; no woman was lost or confused.Karbala is the uprising of free women. Hussain%u2019s call is the call of women who don%u2019t want to be just bodies; they want to be Aqila. Hussain bin Ali came to the battle for the first time with women and children, breaking the monophonic nature of previous battles.
