In spite of sexism, the singer also known as “Egypt’s Fourth Pyramid” built a storied career with her voice and integrity. Growing up in a village where few families believed in educating their daughters, Umm Kulthum (1898-1975), who was named after a daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, defied expectations early by memorizing the Qur’an.
