Samiha Khalil
سميحة خليل1923–1999
Born in Anabta on 20 April 1923, she was sent to Nablus as a child because Anabta had no school for girls. She founded the Arab Women’s Union in al-Bireh in 1952 and, with other women in 1965, the Family Revival Society (In‘ash al-Usra), which she led until her death; it taught girls sewing and traditional embroidery, and she played a leading part in founding a popular Palestinian museum in Ramallah. She ran against Yasser Arafat in the presidential election of 1996, and died in Ramallah on 26 February 1999.
