Hanna K. Korany (1871–1898), also seen as Hanna Kurani, was a Syrian writer. From 1893 to 1895 she toured the United States, speaking on women's lives in Syria.
Hanna K. Korany was from Kfarshima in the Mount Lebanon region, and educated at a Presbyterian missionary school for girls in Beirut.
Careeredit
In 1891, she published Manners and Habits, a book in Arabic.[1] She also wrote a novel in Arabic, and was somewhat prematurely labeled "the George Eliot of Syria" by one American newspaper.[2]
Hanna K. Korany (1895)
In 1893, Korany was invited by Bertha Palmer to represent Syria at the World's Congress of Representative Women,[3] an event associated with the World's Columbian Exposition that year.[4] She also displayed Syrian women's embroidery and handiwork at the fair, reported on the fair for Al Fatat, a woman's magazine based in Egypt,[5] and wrote an essay, "The Glory of Womanhood", for the Congress of Women publication.[6]
She married Amin Effendi Korany in 1887. Hanna Korany died in 1898, aged 27 years, in Beirut.[11]
