Life
Valentine de Saint-Point initially worked as a poet and novelist. An important concern of her work was to convey a modern image of women - but she firmly rejected feminism . In the 1910s, she joined the futurist movement as a woman, trying to achieve her goals by revolutionizing theater and dance. In 1924 she moved to Egypt , took the name "Rawhiya Nour-ed-Dine" (= fanatic of the light of faith) and supported the Muslims in the fight against European imperialism . She died in Cairo in 1953 .
