                                            Abstract
                                                   This policy note is based on “The Contribution of Women to Arab-Intellectual Thought” a lecture presented by Dr. Rafia Ghubash at the Dubai School of Government on January 24th, 2011. The vast expansion of education for girls and women has been one of the main pillars of these advances. However, despite the resulting growth in women’s formal participation in all spheres of public life, women’s contributions to intellectual life in the region––in the sciences, humanities, and social sciences––continue to be underestimated, and sometimes face disparagement and even derision. As a result, the significance and extent of women’s roles as actors in all spheres of life, both historically and in the present day, tend to be under-appreciated
