#OnThisDay, 19 Feb 1951, Egyptian activist Doria Shafik leads a crowd of 1,500 women onto the floor of the Egyptian parliament demanding equal rights for women.
As a result of her - and others' - activism, women were granted limited rights to vote in 1956. She spoke against the Nasser regime in 1957 and was placed under house arrest.
