Zaynab bint Muhammad al-Shahariyyah, in Arabic: زينب الشهارية (died 1702) was a Yemeni poet and Sufi writer, who was born in the city of Shaharah.[1] She studied science and logic, as well as astronomy and literature.[2] Her poetry is recorded in a literary letter to her first husband Ali bin Imam Al-Mutawakkil Ismail, as well as in a collection of sixteen works collated alongside a biography of her life by Abdul Salam al-Wajeeh.[1][3] Her poetry shows her political influence; she practiced law in later life.[2] Her works have been compared to those of other notable women poets, including Mehr Khatun and Fatima bint Mahmoud.[4] Whilst her works were not compiled into a diwan they do have "a respectable place in Yemeni literature".[5]
